Millions of people with gum disease don’t even know they have it which is why regular checkups with the dentist are so important. Gum disease, otherwise known as periodontal disease, is a progressive infection of the gums that can cause irreversible damage to the gums and teeth if left untreated. In most cases, the cause is poor oral hygiene which means this disease can be prevented.
In addition to increasing the risk of tooth loss, gum disease has been linked to several systemic health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. This is why it’s more important than ever to pay attention to gum disease symptoms, receive timely treatment, and stick with a periodontal maintenance plan to keep the gums free and clear of any signs of infection.

Comprehensive Periodontal Disease Treatment from Experienced Doctors
There are now more options than ever for treating gum disease in Midland, TX, including less invasive treatment like laser therapy. Our hygienists have extensive experience working with clients who have mild to severe periodontal disease and can create a comprehensive treatment plan to help you achieve optimal oral health.
If your gums recede well below your natural gum line, you may be at risk for developing painful cavities and gum disease below the gum line. Deep pockets that form around the gum line from gum disease are treatable but too much damage may require gum grafting to restore the tissue. Treating gum recession before it causes too much damage is essential for keeping your smile healthy and in good shape. Our dental professionals use some of the latest gum grafting techniques and proven protocols to treat gum recession without the need for extensive surgery. We can use laser technology to reshape the gum line and create a more attractive smile, effectively reversing the effects of gum recession.
