Periodontal Treatment

More than 80 percent of adults develop gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Because the symptoms are often painless, including red, swollen, or bleeding gums, periodontal disease can often go unnoticed. Our complete periodontal exam allows us to find the condition and effectively treat it.

In the early stages, called gingivitis, gum disease can be reversed if you follow a few simple homecare habits that our hygienists will recommend. Without proper periodontal treatment, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health conditions like strokes, heart disease, diabetes complications, and osteoporosis.

Our gentle hygienist will examine your whole mouth during your check-up. If she discovers a cause for concern, we may recommend periodontal treatment such as scaling, root planing, or antibiotic therapy. Dr. Batton, Dr. Harlin, and our team will correct any damage and restore the vitality of your smile.

To schedule your next check-up, call our office today. We serve patients from across the DFW metroplex. Learn the facts about periodontal disease in our patient library.
