Treat bleeding, swollen, or receding gums with gum disease treatment in Englewood, NJ focused on stabilizing your gums and protecting your teeth.
Gum disease begins when plaque and tartar irritate the gums, causing inflammation, bleeding, and pockets around the teeth. If it progresses, it can damage the bone that supports the teeth. Treatment typically begins with a periodontal evaluation and deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, to remove buildup below the gumline. We then create a maintenance plan to help control bacteria, monitor healing, and reduce the risk of progression.
We measure your gum health, remove the buildup driving inflammation, and set a maintenance schedule to help keep disease under control.
We measure gum pockets, review X-rays, and identify areas of inflammation or bone loss.
Scaling and root planing remove tartar and bacteria below the gumline, with numbing as needed.
We re-evaluate the gums to confirm how the tissue is responding.
A personalized hygiene schedule helps keep inflammation controlled over time.
