Gresham Gum Disease Treatment: Identify and Treat It Early

Why see a dentist like Richard Knight, Richard B Knight DMD PC in Gresham? What kind of gum disease treatment options can he offer? What would the effects of periodontal (gum) disease be on your mouth and body if you neglect your gums?

At Richard B Knight DMD PC we know that the most common cause of gum disease is trapped bacteria, and that regular periodontal treatment can prevent not only reoccurring or new cases of gum disease, it can even prevent heart attacks brought on by this potentially invasive bacterial infection. It can also help prevent bone loss or decay in the mouth! Dr. Knight has had extensive training and experience to offer the latest and most effective gum disease treatment options.

Bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and pockets (extra space between teeth and gums) are just a few signs of gum disease such as gingivitis. Dr. Knight can offer you non-surgical gum disease treatment options such as scaling and root planing (removing plaque from deep pockets or abscesses) which, as bacteria and plaque will continue to build over time, require regular appointments to avoid full-scale gingivitis. If the gum disease is very extensive or the pockets lend themselves to quick infection or decay, Dr. Richard Knight may suggest periodontal surgery to correct these spaces and/or regrow any missing bone matter.

Gum disease is too invasive a problem - not only for your mouth, but for your body as well - to put off making an appointment any longer. Dr. Knight can help you achieve a beautiful smile!

Gum disease such as gingivitis can oftentimes be a "silent" invader - even a silent killer - that leads to bleeding gums, bad breath, bone loss in the jaw, or even heart attacks. Regular screenings at our Gresham office to prevent infected gums and regular treatment of already infected gums are essential to your health!
