Gum Disease Treatment in West Fargo: Detect and Treat It Early

Many people in the West Fargo 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. Dennis Hetland do for you?

Gum disease occurs most frequently when trapped bacteria gets caught in the gums and may lead to bone loss in the mouth or even infection that affects the patient's heart. That's why Dr. Hetland may notice some early signs of gum disease such as bad breath, loose teeth, bleeding gums, and pockets (extra space in between the tooth and the gum). If the periodontal infection is invasive or pockets are quite large, he may suggest surgical treatment - which can often regenerate decaying bone matter. If you are suffering from only a minor form of gingivitis, Dr. Dennis Hetland may perform scaling or root planing, which involves removing the plaque in these deep pockets.

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. Dennis Hetland and his caring attitude and years of experience can literally save your beautiful smile - and perhaps even your life! So call Designer Smiles 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 West Fargo office can save your smile - and maybe even your life!
