Periodontal Services

When gingivitis progresses untreated, it can develop into a more severe condition known as periodontal disease. In periodontitis, the gums recede from the teeth, forming pockets where bacteria thrive. Without proper dental care, this bacteria triggers an infection, necessitating periodontal therapy. Despite the body’s attempts to combat the infection, it often spreads deeper between the teeth, resulting in the deterioration of bone structure and connective tissue, leading to potential tooth loss. Luxe Dentistry prioritizes the oral health of all patients and encourages seeking periodontal therapy for concerns about gum health.

Gum Infection Treatment

For patients experiencing gum infection or early signs of periodontal disease, the primary goal is halting the infection’s progression. Treatment methods vary based on the infection’s severity and its spread within the oral cavity. However, all treatments necessitate patients maintaining diligent oral hygiene practices at home, including regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing two to three times daily. Ceasing smoking can also enhance the likelihood of avoiding gum disease. The team at Luxe Dentistry aims to create a relaxed and comfortable environment for patients to address dental concerns. Our mission is to alleviate discomfort while enhancing dental and gum health.

Deep Cleaning: Scaling and Root Planing

When patients need thorough assistance in eliminating oral bacteria, scaling and root planing are employed. Targeting bacterial and tartar accumulation, these dental procedures ensure a deep cleanse of the teeth and gums. Scaling involves the removal of tartar buildup through scraping the teeth’s surface, while root planing addresses rough areas on the root where bacteria gather, aiding in the removal of tartar and plaque buildup below the gum line. By combining these treatments, symptoms can be substantially reduced, paving the way for improved oral and gum health.
