Effective Gum Disease Treatment at Brixton Family Dental
Periodontal disease develops when bacteria build up along the gum line and cause inflammation and infection in the gums and surrounding bone. Early intervention is crucial, as untreated gum disease can result in gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious dental issues. Our gum disease treatment options focus on halting infection, restoring gum health, and preventing further damage.
Professional deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, and antibiotic therapy help manage periodontal disease effectively. For advanced cases, surgical options may be necessary to rebuild gum tissue and protect tooth stability. Regular dental visits ensure ongoing prevention and treatment, keeping your smile healthy and strong.
