Gum Treatment – Healthy Gums for a Healthier Smile
At AmeriDental, we offer expert gum treatment to stop bleeding, inflammation, and gum recession—serving patients in North Brunswick and Hillsborough, NJ.
Why Gum Health Matters
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and even tooth loss if not treated early. At AmeriDental, we provide non-surgical and advanced therapies to restore and maintain your gum health.
Common Symptoms of Gum Issues:
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or “long teeth”
- Loose or shifting teeth
Our Gum Treatment Options
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline.
- Antibacterial Therapy: Medicated rinses or localized antibiotics help eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
- Laser Gum Treatment: Minimally invasive lasers treat infected tissue and encourage regeneration.
- Periodontal Maintenance: Regular cleanings every 3–4 months to maintain gum health after initial therapy.
Our team will customize a treatment plan based on your gum condition, severity, and response to care.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is gum treatment painful?
A: Most treatments are non-surgical and performed with local anesthesia or numbing gel for your comfort.
Q: How do I know if I need gum treatment?
A: If your gums bleed, look red or feel tender, or if you’ve noticed recession or bad breath, schedule an exam as soon as possible.
Q: Can gum disease be cured?
A: Early-stage gingivitis is reversible. More advanced periodontitis is manageable with regular treatment and maintenance.
