Gum Disease Treatment McKinney
Healthy Gums Lead to a Healthy Smile
Teeth aren’t the only part of your smile that you need to be concerned about. Without healthy gums, your teeth wouldn’t be able to stay in place, bite, or chew properly. Basically, your gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, and they deserve the same care and attention that your teeth do. If you notice that your gums are red and swollen or bleed easily when you brush or floss, then you may have the beginnings of gum disease, a serious condition that can eventually lead to tooth loss without treatment. Do you have the signs of gum disease? Contact our dental team and schedule your visit with Dr. Parmar to discuss gum disease treatment in McKinney, TX today!

Scaling & Root Planing
If caught early enough, gum disease can be treated with a normal professional cleaning. However, if the condition is more advanced, we’ll need to perform scaling and root planing. Basically, we clean out the deep pockets of trapped plaque and bacteria below the gum line, and then we smooth the roots’ rough surfaces to facilitate healing and make reinfection in the future less likely. After three or four months, you’ll return to our dental office so that we can perform these procedures again to make sure that the infection is completely gone.
Laser Periodontal Treatment
During your deep cleaning, we may employ the use of our diode laser. This advanced piece of technology emits a small beam of light that can precisely remove severely damaged tissue as well as kill harmful oral bacteria. As a result, patients notice pocket reduction, improved gum disease symptoms, and they don’t have to go under a scalpel in order to receive these health-improving results!
Holistic Gum Disease Treatment Support
To help support our patients’ journeys towards healthy teeth and gums, we also offer at-home treatment recommendations to improve your symptoms. StellaLife oral rinses and PerioScience dental gel can be added to your routine to reduce dental sensitivity and boost your oral and overall health.
