Gum Disease Treatment Jupiter

Preserving Your Smile’s Foundation

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues among adults, estimated to impact nearly 50 percent of people in the United States. Although the early signs of this disease don’t seem serious, like sensitivity and bleeding while brushing and flossing, when left to progress, gum disease can compromise the health and wholeness of your smile. Fortunately, our team at Palm Dental Professionals offers several advanced methods of gum disease treatment in Jupiter to preserve your smile.

Scaling & Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is typically referred to as a “deep cleaning.” This procedure can be completed within one or two appointments and involves a thorough cleaning of the dental surfaces as well as the roots of the teeth. Our goal is to remove as much plaque and tartar as possible to slow and even stop the spread of the infection to prevent worsening gum disease symptoms.

Arestin™ Antibiotic Treatment

Arestin is a specific brand of antibiotic therapy for gum disease that we use. Instead of having to take pills every day, we target the source of your gum infection (the pockets of the gums) with the medication. Arestin consists of small microspheres that are placed into the gum pockets and slowly disperse medication over the course of about two weeks. Afterwards, we’ll have you come back in for a quick follow-up to monitor the progression of your condition.

Laser Periodontal Treatment

After scaling and root planing, we may also recommend laser periodontal treatment with our soft tissue laser. Its antimicrobial abilities allow us to drastically minimize the number of harmful oral bacteria within the mouth to stop the spread of the infection. We can also use it to seamlessly remove severely damaged gum tissue, only leaving the healthy tissue behind so it can reconnect with the teeth.
