Stop Dental Damage With Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment in Fresno

Gum disease is hard to spot at first. It lingers discreetly, well before the unmistakable signs of infection make their appearance along your gumline. During a cleaning, your dentist can detect the signs of the disease in the early stages. Whether disease is found in an exam or you spot it on your own, you can come to our office for help. Our non-surgical gum disease treatment in Fresno will:

  • Give you improved oral health
  • Get rid of the uncomfortable conditions of gum disease
  • Restore your confidence in your dental health
  • Reduce your risk for systemic health issues

Call 559-242-1356 for an appointment. No insurance? No problem! Join our Membership Club for savings. It includes an option for patients vulnerable to gum disease.

We Use Comfortable Lasers in Our Gum Disease Treatment

When you visit our practice for gum disease treatment, you’ll benefit from our use of advanced technology, particularly our safe and gentle laser. Our state-of-the-art laser equipment allows us to provide minimally invasive and comfortable procedures. In addition, we approach your treatment with compassion and care. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.

Depending on the stage of your gum disease, your dentist may recommend:

  • Laser Bacterial Reduction – We’ll use lasers to eliminate harmful bacteria and restore your gum health.
  • Scaling and Root Planing – We’ll remove plaque and tartar in and around your gumline (scaling). Then we’ll smooth your tooth roots (root planing) to reduce your risk for reoccurring infection.
  • Antibacterial Irrigation – This flushes out the bacteria that has built up in your gumline and delivers antibiotics to restore your gum health.

It may also be necessary for you to return more often for checkups. It’s important to stay on top of gum disease, so it doesn’t return. In its later stages, it puts you at risk for tooth loss. Gum infection has also been linked to health problems like diabetes.

While gum disease is difficult to detect on your own, there are signs you may notice at home. You may spot red or inflamed gums, bleeding when you brush or floss, bad breath, or receding gum tissue. If you notice these symptoms, make an appointment ASAP.

Common Questions About Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment

What is non-surgical gum disease treatment?

Non-surgical gum disease treatment is designed to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and below your gumline. At our practice, we offer several types of gum disease treatment, including scaling and root planing, antibacterial irrigation, and laser treatment. Your dentist will help decide on the right type of treatment based on your needs.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.

What are gum disease symptoms?

You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
