Dr. Regina Powe provides gum disease treatment in Frisco, Texas, for periodontal disease patients. Our restorative and preventive therapies help repair damaged gum tissue and remove harmful bacteria from the mouth, halting the disease’s progression.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease begins with plaque buildup, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth. If not adequately removed through regular brushing & flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, causing inflammation & infection of the gums. Early initial gum disease, known as gingivitis, can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. Without treatment, gingivitis will progress to periodontitis.
Symptoms of gum disease include:
Gums that bleed easily
Gum recession
Bad breath
Swollen or red gums
Difficulty chewing
Loose teeth
Our Comprehensive Gum Disease Treatment Services
At Regina Y Powe DDS, we offer a wide range of effective treatments to combat gum disease and restore your oral health:
Professional Cleanings : Regular dental cleanings prevent and manage gum disease. Our skilled hygienists remove plaque & tartar buildup, helping to keep your gums healthy.
Scaling and Root Planing : For gum diseases that have become advanced, we perform treatments such as scaling, root planing, and a deep cleaning procedure that gets rid of plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the teeth roots to promote healing.
Laser Therapy : To treat gum disease with precision and minimal discomfort, we use advanced laser therapy. Laser therapy targets infected tissue and bacteria, promoting faster healing and reducing inflammation.
Antibiotic Treatments : In some cases, we may prescribe antibiotics to help control infection and reduce bacteria in the gums.
Surgical Interventions : For severe gum disease, surgical treatments such as flap bone grafts or surgery may be necessary to restore the health and function of your gums.
