Periodontist Dr Quintal can help manage and treat symptoms of gum disease with the following:
- Regular advanced hygiene and cleaning sessions: Removing tartar and plaque buildup will be essential for keeping the gums healthy and free from harmful bacteria. Learn more.
- Deep cleaning under the gums: Deep cleaning is hugely beneficial for patients with gum disease in the early stages, with the possibility of it being reversed altogether.
- Laser gum surgery: We use less invasive lasers to remove bacteria from your gums effectively.
Treatment recommendations for advanced forms of the disease, like periodontitis, might involve gum surgery and tooth removal.
Critical advice
Regular dental checkups are your best chance at preventing, avoiding, and even managing gum disease. Even if you don’t experience advanced symptoms, allowing the disease to progress has major consequences for the future of your smile.
