Take Care of Your Gums with Gum Disease Therapy

Many people forget or underestimate the importance of healthy gums. In order to have an overall healthy smile, strong, beautiful gums are very important, and when they are compromised, the effects will be less than favorable. With over 75% of the population living with some form of gum disease, more people are affected by gum disease than stroke, cancer, heart disease, can Alzheimer’s combined. It is important to make sure your smile is the healthiest it can be, which is why Dr. Shelly Strohman offers gum disease therapy to her patients.

There are many signs and symptoms to look for if you think you are suffering from gum disease. A few of them are swollen, red gums, gums that bleed when you brush or floss, gum sensitivity, and so on. If gum disease is not treated right away, it has the potential to lead to more severe bodily harm, such as bone loss, heart disease, dementia, tooth loss, stroke, and so much more. If you feel as though you are suffering from gum disease, contact Dr. Strohman right away.

One of the ways we help reverse the effects of gum disease is root planing and scaling. This allows us to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, as well as smooth out the rough tooth roots. We also offer antibiotic therapy to help ward off further infection. If you have more advanced stages of gum disease, we will refer you to a periodontist who will be able to perform laser treatment or surgery in order to fully get your smile back to full health! If you are curious as to how Dr. Strohman can help with your gum disease, contact our office today, and we would love to help!
