Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Keller Crossing Dentistry, Dr. Chiyuan Chen offers comprehensive periodontal treatments in Fort Worth, Texas, to prevent and manage gum disease. Our focus is on protecting your oral health and ensuring your smile stays strong and beautiful.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, occurs when bacteria and plaque build up below the gumline, causing inflammation and infection. If untreated, it can lead to:
- Bleeding, swollen or receding gums.
- Tooth loss due to damaged gum and bone tissue.
- Increased risk of systemic health issues, such as heart disease.
Early detection and treatment are key to stopping gum disease in its tracks.
How We Treat Gum Disease
Our dentist uses advanced techniques to address gum disease effectively. Treatments include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths tooth roots to encourage healing.
We may also use tools like the CBCT scanner to assess the severity of gum disease and guide treatment planning for optimal results.
Personalized Care for Lifelong Health
Periodontal treatments are often part of a broader preventive care plan. Regular dental cleanings, fluoride treatments and consistent at-home oral hygiene all play a role in maintaining gum health and preventing recurrence.
