Gum disease is a common oral health problem, affecting more than half the population of the United States. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious oral and overall health conditions, including tooth loss. Preventing gum disease requires a daily commitment to brushing and flossing, as well as periodic teeth cleaning treatments at our Beaufort dental office. Your commitment to maintaining an excellent oral hygiene regimen is the complement to help combat plaque, which is the main cause of gum disease. When plaque accumulates below the gum line, it infects and inflames the soft tissues and bone structure that support and protect the teeth. Gingivitis is the initial stage of gum disease and may be painless and symptomless, at first. To diagnose gingivitis, our dentist performs a comprehensive examination, with the use of diagnostic films, as needed. Diagnosing gum disease from the outset allows for the most straightforward, effective course of treatment, which may include scaling and root planing. Scaling is a deep periodontal cleaning that removes plaque from underneath the gums, and root planing is a procedure that smooths the root surfaces of teeth to prevent plaque from gathering in the crevices. Our dentist may also recommend more frequent teeth cleaning treatments and advise you on better oral hygiene habits to help avert or halt gingivitis.

Throughout gum treatment at our Beaufort dental office, our compassionate team of dental professionals keeps you informed and at ease. At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we provide gentle, precise care to make each visit to the dentist a positive, stress-free experience. To schedule convenient appointments for your family, please give our office a call today!
