Gum Disease & Bad Breath
Periodontal (Gum) Care
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, and at Sundent Family Dental, we offer specialized periodontal care to treat and prevent gum disease. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated, including tooth loss and bone deterioration. Our periodontal care includes thorough cleanings, scaling and root planing, and personalized maintenance plans to keep your gums healthy and disease-free.
Our team is dedicated to educating patients on the importance of gum health and proper oral hygiene practices. We will work with you to develop a customized care plan that includes regular professional cleanings and effective at-home care techniques. By addressing gum disease early and maintaining regular periodontal care, we can help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health, ensuring that your gums remain strong and healthy for life.
Halitosis Treatment
Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, can be both embarrassing and indicative of underlying dental or medical issues. At Sundent Family Dental, we offer comprehensive halitosis treatment to help you regain fresh breath and confidence. Our approach includes a thorough examination to identify the root cause of the bad breath, which could be due to poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or other health conditions.
Once the cause is identified, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include professional cleanings, periodontal therapy, and recommendations for improving your oral hygiene routine. We also provide guidance on dietary choices and lifestyle changes that can help mitigate halitosis. By addressing the underlying issues and promoting good oral health practices, we can help you enjoy a fresher breath and a healthier smile.
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that is essential for treating gum disease. At Sundent Family Dental, we use this non-surgical treatment to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth the tooth roots, promoting healing and preventing further bacterial growth. This procedure is highly effective in treating early-stage gum disease and can help prevent the progression to more severe forms that might require surgical intervention.
Our experienced dental team ensures that scaling and root planing is performed with precision and care, using advanced tools and techniques to maximize comfort and effectiveness. After the procedure, we provide detailed instructions for post-treatment care and regular maintenance to support the health of your gums. By combining professional treatment with good oral hygiene practices, you can achieve healthier gums and a more confident smile.
