Avoid Future Health Problems With Thorough Gum Care

Gum disease can sneak up on you without warning. The symptoms usually aren’t noticeable on your own. That’s the benefit of visiting us regularly for cleanings and exams. Dr. Gusfa can look for early signs of an infection. Addressing it as soon as possible makes for easier treatments and fewer complications to your smile.

However, even if you’ve neglected checkups and have more noticeable symptoms, you can still visit us for treatment. Whether we’ve spotted indications of disease during your checkup or you have concerns, Dr. Gusfa can restore your gum health with:

  • Deep Cleaning – We typically start treating a gum infection through a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing. Scaling removes the hardened plaque and tartar around and under your gumline. Root planing smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach and reduce the risk of reinfection.
  • Antibacterial Treatments – Dr. Gusfa may use antibacterial irrigation to enhance your deep cleaning. In some cases, we also may use a topical antibiotic to target bacteria more effectively and promote healing.

After your gum treatment, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions. Plus, we’ll guide you through steps to prevent future infections. Dr. Gusfa may recommend that you return for more frequent cleanings, depending on your needs.
