At Dental Theory, we understand the importance of maintaining healthy gums for a lifetime of optimal oral health. Our experienced dental team in Brandon, FL, provides comprehensive periodontal treatment and deep cleanings to help patients prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease.

Gum Disease

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It occurs when plaque and tartar accumulate along the gum line, causing inflammation and damage to the soft tissues and bone. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health complications.

Symptoms of Gum Disease

Some common signs and symptoms of gum disease include:
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Receding gum line
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or shifting teeth

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to schedule an appointment with our office for a comprehensive evaluation.

Deep Cleanings

Deep Cleanings: A Non-Surgical Treatment for Gum Disease

Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, are a non-surgical treatment for managing gum disease. During a deep cleaning, our skilled dental hygienists will:
  • Remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line using special instruments
  • Smooth the root surfaces of the teeth to prevent future bacterial buildup
  • Apply antibiotics or antimicrobial agents to eliminate any remaining bacteria and promote healing

Deep cleanings are typically performed over the course of several appointments, depending on the severity of the gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Treatment and Deep Cleanings

The frequency of deep cleanings depends on the severity of your gum disease and your individual oral health needs. Our dentists will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your specific case.
Deep cleanings may cause some discomfort, especially if your gums are sensitive or inflamed. However, our team uses local anesthesia and other comfort measures to ensure that you remain as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
