Gum Disease Treatment for Patients in Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, IL & Beyond

The technical name for gum disease is periodontal disease. Whatever you want to call it, gum disease is a serious issue that could drastically harm your oral health. Periodontal disease is actually an infection that can spread through your gums and lips and eventually harm your teeth. How do you know if you have gum disease? You might be able to smell it, as bad breath is a sign of gum disease. Red or puffy gums and frequent bleeding when brushing your teeth are also telltale signs of gum disease. Other signs include loose teeth, sensitive teeth, and painful toothaches.

If you suspect an issue with your gums, don't wait for the problem to worsen; contact Roseroot Dental for a helpful and professional gum disease treatment. We’ll start with a complete examination of your teeth and gums to find these signs of gum disease. We’ll pay close attention to your gums and look for sagging and crevices in the gumline that indicate damage. If we do find gum disease, we’ll suggest a variety of periodontal treatment options to correct the problem. Most treatment options are non-surgical in nature, including a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planning, which removes plaque and tartar from the problem areas of your gums and teeth. Dr. Roseroot and his staff are proud to help patients across Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, IL, and the surrounding areas who may be dealing with any stage of gum disease.
