Severe illnesses such as heart disease or related systemic diseases can be worsened by oral infections. Gum Treatment will tackle the infections in your mouth and prevent bacteria from entering into your bloodstream system through your mouth.
Gum (or periodontal) disease can be professionally treated at Ocean Breeze Prosthodontics. We offer gum disease treatment to heal your gums and restore your oral health.
Periodontal disease is commonly caused by plaque or tartar that accumulates in your gum pockets. Gum tissue that surrounds your teeth can get infected. Within time they deteriorate the structure that supports your teeth.
If left untreated, gum disease can worsen causing severe damage to your teeth, or even lead to tooth loss.
So if your gums are infected or start receding, then your teeth will not have a healthy basis, and will also start to deteriorate.
Symptoms such as swollen, bleeding or receding gums, are evidence of gum disease.
Gum Disease Treatment will help you regain healthy gums and teeth. Treating gum disease will benefit your whole oral condition.
Treating gum disease will help you restore your bite and the chewing functions, since your teeth will regain a strong support basis.

Gum Disease Treatments will vary depending on the stage of the periodontal disease. The procedure will generally consist of a few steps:

This Comprehensive Dental Exam includes checking your teeth, gums, bones, jaw. It also includes oral cancer screening and x-rays (if needed).
At this stage Dr. Goetz is ready to make a diagnosis and know what kind of Gum Treatment you need: severe cases will probably need surgical intervention, while milder cases will just require a deep cleaning procedure (scaling and root planing).

Treating gum disease also requires a couple of steps. Depending on the severity of the case, you may require one or multiple visits. In most severe cases, surgery may be required as well. But in general, a deep cleaning should be enough to restore your gums back to health.
Gum disease FAQs
Generally, if the stage of your periodontal disease is not severe, a deep teeth cleaning will do. Scaling and Root Planing Procedure is often used to treat gum disease. This procedure will do away with tartar and bacteria accumulated in your gum pockets and allow your gum tissues to heal and grow healthily again.
Early stage of gum disease is known as Gingivitis. This can be seen when bleeding occurs during daily brushing and flossing. Good oral habits will generally do. However, if more bacteria accumulates, you will probably reach further stages of periodontal disease. At this point you will probably need a scaling and root planing treatment.
Gum Disease Treatments might be covered by your insurance. We are a fee-for-service office, but we work with all PPO insurance plans. The coverage of your treatment will depend on the benefits your insurance offers you.
