Gum Treatment in Moorpark, CA, for Healthy Smiles

gum treatment in moorpark caYour Healthiest and Happiest Smile Starts Here

Gum disease can cause a multitude of health problems if left untreated. When plaque is not brushed and flossed away, it builds up, harbors bacteria and hardens, causing deterioration of the gums, inflammation, and pain. This disease allows bacteria to travel to the tooth root and will cause bone loss over time. However, if it’s caught early and treated quickly, it may be reversible! Our experienced team offers gum treatment in Moorpark, CA, to help you take care of your gum health.

What Causes Gum Disease?

The development of gum disease can be attributed to many factors, including:

  • Smoking
  • Excessive sugar in the diet
  • Poor brushing and flossing
  • Oral piercings
  • Diabetes
  • Crooked teeth

There are also genetic factors at work, and sometimes certain patients will need routine deep cleanings as preventive care.

What Are The Symptoms?

It’s not always obvious that you have gum disease. The first stage of gum disease is called gingivitis, which is the easiest stage to treat and symptoms may include bleeding red gums. This can generally be reversed quickly with good hygiene. If the disease worsens, you may notice chronic bad breath, a receding gum line, teeth that are loose or new spacing between your teeth. These are signs that gingivitis has progressed into periodontitis and is causing bone loss and permanent damage.

It’s best to have a regular checkup with your dentist to ensure that your gums are healthy. If you have any of these symptoms, it’s a sign that your gums need to be treated immediately.

How Do Gum Treatments Work?

The goal of gum treatment is to eliminate the cause of inflammation. Bacteria hardens on the teeth, causing plaque and tartar (calculus) to build up. This inflames the gums–we simply remove the disease-causing bacteria and give your gums the opportunity to heal.

There are two parts to gum treatment:

  • Periodontal Scaling – This is the process of removing plaque, calculus, and any stains from the surfaces of your teeth.
  • Root PlaningThis process smooths the roughened exposed root surface and removes the calculus buildup harboring bacteria and toxins.

After a deep cleaning, the dentist may provide medication if there is a gum infection present. If the condition is severe, surgery or dental implants may be necessary.

Dr. Potts and his staff are amazing. I had a problem with a tooth and they got me in right away. I was surprised since I was a new patient. Everyone in his office is so nice and very efficient. They made me feel so comfortable. Their warming and massage dental chair is awesome. If you are looking for a new dentist, I highly recommend Moorpark Center for Dentistry.
