Explore Your Gum Treatment Options

Our gum care solutions will stop infection, reduce inflammation, and restore your oral health. Your periodontist will provide expert care tailored to your needs. After a thorough exam, we may recommend:

  • Scaling and Root Planing - Your periodontist will remove plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline. We smooth your tooth roots to prevent reinfection.
  • Localized Antibiotic Therapy - If necessary, we apply targeted antibiotics. This is usually a follow-up to a deep cleaning to reduce bacterial infection.

After treatment, we'll schedule regular periodontal maintenance visits. These appointments are typically more frequent than standard cleanings. We'll help your gums stay strong and healthy.

Common Questions About
Gum Disease Treatment

How do I know if I have gum disease?

Many patients don't realize they have gum disease until it becomes more advanced. Early signs include gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, chronic bad breath, swollen or tender gum tissue, and gums pulling away from your teeth. If your teeth start to feel loose or your bite changes, that can indicate more serious progression. The best way to know for sure is to schedule an exam. At Belmont Dental Group, we use digital imaging and periodontal measurements to assess your gum health and create a personalized care plan if needed.

Do I need to see a separate periodontist?

No, you won't need to go elsewhere for specialty care. Belmont Dental Group has a periodontist on staff, so you can receive expert gum disease treatment right here in our office. That means no extra stops, no juggling multiple appointments, and no referrals to unfamiliar providers. Our team works together under one roof to make your care seamless and efficient, whether you need a deep cleaning or a more advanced periodontal procedure.

How often will I need to come in after treatment?

After your initial treatment, we typically recommend more frequent cleanings known as periodontal maintenance visits, usually every 3 to 4 months. These visits allow us to monitor your gum health, remove any new buildup, and prevent the disease from progressing. Regular maintenance is especially important if you've had bone or tissue loss. Our team will create a schedule tailored to your needs and make it easy to stay on track with early morning, evening, and Saturday appointments available.
