Giving Your Gums a Chance for Better Health
When bacteria attack your gum tissues, you’ll notice that tenderness, swelling, and bleeding are common symptoms. When detected early, these issues can be reversed; however, when allowed to progress, the result can be significantly more serious (i.e., heart disease, diabetes, tooth loss, jawbone resorption, etc.). Allow our team at Antoon Family Dental to improve your gum health using only the best techniques. Give us a call today.

Scaling & Root Planing
Gum disease is incredibly common with nearly half of American adults showing signs of the condition. Scaling and root planing is a nonsurgical type of gum disease treatment that consists of deep cleaning of the mouth to remove plaque and bacteria from above and below the gumline. Additionally, we smooth out the roots of the teeth to reduce the probability of this happening again.

Chao Pinhole Surgery
When gum recession occurs as a result of advanced gum disease, this minimally invasive procedure can be used to position your soft oral tissues in their appropriate place. Dr. Antoon will create a small hole and loosen the gum tissue before gently moving it back into position so that it effectively covers the exposed tooth root and forms a more even gumline.
Laser Gum Disease Treatment
When targeting disease tissues, Dr. Antoon can use our in-house soft tissue laser. The concentrated beam of light focuses solely on areas of inflammation, leaving all healthy tissues untouched. Also, your gums will be sterilized, effectively reducing the risk of future reinfection. Using this type of treatment increases the chances that your healthy gums will begin to regenerate and ultimately create a healthier environment for your soft oral tissues and teeth.
