However, even if you notice signs on your own, you can find help at My Family Dentistry. Gum disease treatment in Powell will:

• Treat the infection before it leads to tooth loss and other consequences
• Revive your healthy gum tissue
• Improve your confidence in your smile
• Stop bothersome side effects like bad breath
• Make your at-home oral care routine easier

Restore Your Gum Health & Love Smiling Again

Your gums are important to your overall health. Ignoring gum disease increases your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other systemic health issues. Fortunately, you don’t need to live with infected gums. When you come in for your appointment, your dentist will do an exam to determine the level of infection. Your treatment may include:

• Scaling and Root Planing – This deep cleaning procedure gets rid of the tartar and plaque triggering the disease (scaling). Then we’ll smooth out your tooth roots to prevent reoccurring infections. Depending on the level of infection, we may have you return for follow-up treatments.
• Antibacterial Rinses – We have products to improve your gum health. They’ll rinse away the bacteria, deliver antioxidants to your gums, and help with other conditions such as bad breath.
• Gum Grafting – If you have noticeable gum loss, we can do a gum grafting procedure that gives you a healthy-looking gumline. It uses tissue from your mouth or a donor to replenish your gums.

We focus on comfort during every appointment. Dim lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere. You can also cozy up with a blanket and watch TV while we work! Plus, you can receive oral sedation or laughing gas if you feel nervous.
