Gum Disease Treatment in Pearl: Detect and Treat It Early

Many people in the Pearl area may be at risk for or already suffer from gum disease. What does periodontal (gum) disease do to your mouth and body? How can it be treated? What can a dentist like Dr. Brian Johnston do for you?

Have you noticed loose teeth, bad breath, bleeding gums, or large open or closed spaces between your teeth and gum line (commonly referred to as "pockets")? Did you know that, if left untreated, gum disease such as gingivitis can lead to bone loss or decay in your mouth or even a heart attack from the potentially invasive bacterial infection that characterizes gum disease? As one of Pearl's most highly-regarded dentists, Dr. Johnston has the experience to offer the most effective periodontal gum disease treatment options.

Dr. Johnston may suggest surgical treatment to regenerate bone that has decayed or to close pockets and make them free of gum disease infection. Or he may be able to help you with non-surgical treatment options such as scaling and root planing, which is a deep cleaning of pockets to avoid a deep gum disease infection. Either way, regular appointments are recommended even after the first treatment and can help you avoid reoccurrence or new gum disease infection.

There's no such thing as gum disease that can be ignored. Even if it's not painful in the beginning, the greater concern is the long-term effect that gum disease can have on your mouth and body. That's why Dr. Brian Johnston and his caring attitude and years of experience can literally save your beautiful smile - and perhaps even your life! So call Brian E. Johnston, D.M.D., F.A.G.D. or complete the online form to make a gum disease treatment appointment!

Although often not painful until it's widespread, gum disease such as gingivitis is a serious condition that can lead to bad breath, bleeding gums, and even bone loss in the jaw or heart attacks. Early treatment of infected gums and preventative screenings at our Pearl office can save your smile - and maybe even your life!
