Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of a Healthy Smile
We offer advanced periodontal care to stop gum disease in its tracks—helping you maintain strong, natural teeth and a confident smile.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease—also known as periodontal disease—is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to chronic inflammation, gum recession, tooth loss, and even impact your overall health.
Early intervention is key, and at My Favorite Dentist, we provide personalized, non-surgical treatments to help restore gum health and prevent long-term damage.
Signs You May Have Gum Disease
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or “longer” looking teeth
- Loose teeth or shifting bite
- Sensitivity when brushing or flossing
- Pus around the gums or teeth
Many signs are painless at first—which is why regular checkups are essential for early detection.
Why Gum Health Matters
Healthy gums support your teeth, protect your jawbone, and contribute to your overall wellness. Studies have linked advanced gum disease to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Addressing it early is one of the best things you can do for your smile—and your whole body.
Our Gum Disease Treatments
Deep Cleanings (Periodontal Cleanings)
More thorough than a regular cleaning, a deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline to stop infection and promote healing.
Gum Recession Treatment
Gum recession is a common consequence of untreated periodontal disease, aging, or aggressive brushing habits. As the gums pull away from the teeth, it can lead to increased tooth sensitivity, exposed roots, and a higher risk of decay or tooth loss. At My Favorite Dentist, we offer targeted gum recession treatments to restore gum tissue health, reduce discomfort, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Scaling & Root Planing
This two-step procedure cleans the roots of your teeth and smooths the surfaces, helping the gums reattach and reducing pocket depth caused by disease.
Periodontal Maintenance
After initial treatment, we may recommend more frequent cleanings—typically every 3–4 months—to prevent recurrence and monitor gum health.
Your Comfort Is Always Our Priority
We understand that gum treatments can sound intimidating—but rest assured, our team uses gentle techniques, numbing agents, and a compassionate approach to ensure your comfort at every step.
