Restore and maintain your oral health with professional deep cleaning and personalized gum disease care at Licata Dental.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Common signs of gum disease include:
At Licata Dental, we take gum disease seriously. Our goal is to stop the progression of periodontal disease and prevent further damage. We provide early intervention and ongoing care to preserve your natural smile.
If you’re diagnosed with gum disease, our dentists may recommend a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planning. This non-surgical treatment removes plaque and tartar below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing.
After your initial deep cleaning, periodontal maintenance cleanings are typically recommended every 3–4 months—more frequently than the standard 6-month checkup. This schedule helps prevent reinfection and keeps gum disease under control.
Even with good at-home care, gum disease can persist or return. That’s why professional treatment and maintenance are essential for long-term oral health.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease or haven’t had a deep cleaning in a while, contact Licata Dental today to schedule your evaluation.
