Stages of Gum Disease
Report
There are three stages of gum (periodontal) disease: gingivitis, periodontitis and advanced periodontitis. The severity of gum disease can vary from person to person, depending on how long the infection has been present and if any forms of treatment have been performed. While it is important to visit a periodontist no matter the severity, seeking treatment as early as possible can help prevent permanent damage and restore your health.
Gum Disease Treatments
Report
Gum disease is a progressive bacterial infection that can not only lead to tooth loss, but can also increase your risk for heart disease, stroke, and some forms of cancer. With early diagnosis from a periodontist like Dr. Nancy Perez-Medina you can stop the progression of gum disease and prevent serious damage to your oral and overall health.
Laser Gum Surgery
Report
If you have been diagnosed with gum disease and are concerned about the pain and time traditionally required to treat it, you are not alone. We offer a gentle laser alternative to traditional osseous surgery that does not require any cutting or stitching of the gums. Laser gum surgery offers a virtually pain-free experience to eliminate harmful bacteria and restore your gums to optimal health.
Bone Grafting
Report
If you've been told you do not have sufficient bone in your jaw, you may be a candidate for a bone grafting procedure. Bone loss can occur for a number of reasons, including tooth loss or gum disease. Gum disease breaks down the connection between the teeth and the gums, ultimately causing teeth to become loose.
