Periodontal Gum Treatment in Irving, TX

Healthy Gums, Healthy Smile!

Your gums are vital to the health of your teeth. They provide support for the teeth as well as blood flow to the jaw and tooth structure. As part of your routine examination, Dr. Thirtha and our hygienists will monitor your gums for signs of periodontal disease. This condition can often be treated in our office with periodontal therapy supported by effective home care and medicated rinses.

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease occurs when bacteria penetrate beneath the gum line. It is a progressive condition that will infect and deteriorate gum tissue, and eventually, tooth structure and bone. If this condition is not treated early, tissue and bone will continue to recess until there is not enough support for the tooth, resulting in tooth loss.

Periodontal Gum Disease Treatment & Prevention in Irving, TX

Prevention and Early Detection

Periodontal disease can be avoided with regular dental check-ups and good home care. Even with these measures, sometimes infection can occur. Early warning signs include tender, bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and ‘pockets’ of space between the teeth and gums. In more advanced cases, gum tissue may have receded significantly and teeth may be loose.

Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy

If detected early, gum disease can be treated in our office with non-surgical periodontal therapy. This process includes more frequent visits, every 3-4 months, for deep cleaning and topical treatment of infected tissue to promote healthy growth.

    I've never written a review for a dentist before, but I want others to know this practice is outstanding. I know when they find something that needs to be corrected, they're telling me the truth and that I'm not be charged for unnecessary services or care. Their staff is professional yet I feel like I'm a member of their family each time I come in for care.

    The whole staff is nice, they make you feel like friends not just some random patient coming in. They are very accommodating and can fit you in just about any time. He has an after hours number that he responds to almost immediately. Just a great place.
