What Is Gum Disease? 

Gum disease is a general term for a build-up of bacteria and inflammation of the gum line. Typically speaking, gum disease can be caused by poor oral care routines, skipping dental appointments, genetics, advanced age, or chronic illness. 

If your gum disease is left untreated, you could be at a higher risk for developing the following conditions: 

  • Diabetes
  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke

Symptoms Of Gum Disease 

Gum disease is not always obvious to those who are experiencing its earliest phases, which is why it's so important to attend regular dental checkups at Kusek Family & Implant Dentistry. If you have one or more of the following symptoms, it's time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kusek or Dr. Schuiteman right away: 

  • Loose teeth
  • Tooth and mouth pain
  • Receding, swollen, and painful gums
  • A change in your bite
  • Bleeding while brushing and flossing
  • Mouth sores
  • Bad breath
  • Ill-fitting dentures  

How We Treat Gum Disease 

Although gum disease can evolve into a serious condition if left untreated, our team has the right tools, technologies, and know-how to restore your gums to a healthy condition. We offer the following periodontal therapies: 

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Scaling and root planing removes plaque, bacteria, and acid buildup that can cause gum inflammation. 

A simple SRP helps to restore and promote healthier teeth, gums, and overall oral health while also preventing all stages of gum disease. 

Laser Gum Treatments 

Our highly experienced dentists utilize cutting-edge soft tissue lasers to help combat the signs of gum disease. This advanced technology is used in a wide range of gum treatments and offers heightened precision and control. 

Laser treatments are also preferred by most patients because they are generally faster and less painful than conventional and surgical gum treatments.
