Prevent Gum Disease With Regular Checkups

Routine dental checkups are crucial in preventing and managing gum disease.

At Westlake Family Dentistry, we carefully examine your gums during each visit to detect early signs of gingivitis or periodontitis. By catching these issues early, we can prevent them from progressing into more severe stages that could lead to tooth loss.

Our comprehensive exams include DIAGNOdent cavity detection and digital X-rays, ensuring we identify any underlying problems. Professional cleanings eliminate plaque and tartar that can cause gum irritation.

Staying consistent with your dental visits helps you keep your gums healthy and safeguards your overall oral health.

What is non-surgical gum disease treatment?

Non-surgical gum disease treatment focuses on managing gum disease without invasive procedures. It typically includes scaling and root planing to remove plaque and bacteria, as well as laser-assisted cleaning for precise, comfortable care. We may also use topical antibiotics and antibacterial irrigation to eliminate infection and promote healing.

Our non-surgical treatments are designed to be as comfortable as possible. We use advanced, pain-reducing technology and gentle techniques, including laser-assisted scaling and root planing. If you feel anxious or have sensitive gums, we also offer sedation options to ensure a relaxed experience.
