Gum Disease Therapy
Providing Non-Surgical Therapies to Alleviate Gum Disease Discomfort
Gum disease, sometimes called periodontal disease, often strikes quietly with few or no symptoms in the early stage. Conservative estimates state that up 80% of the population unknowingly has some form of gum disease. As an experienced general dentist, Dr. Mitchell offers non-surgical therapy to restore periodontal health and halt the progression of gum disease.
If you notice bleeding while brushing or red, swollen gums, you may have gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. Our hygienists treat gingivitis with a deep cleaning and instructions on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Advanced cases often respond well to antibiotic therapy, though some severe cases require the care of a periodontist. Dr. Mitchell will thoroughly examine your gums and suggest the appropriate treatment to preserve your oral health.
Call our North Dallas dental office today to schedule your gum disease assessment with Dr. Mitchell. We serve patients from Highland Park, Plano, Richardson, and surrounding areas.
