Periodontal (Gum) Disease Treatment in Coconut Creek, FL

Periodontal treatment depends on the type and severity of gum disease present. At Quality Dentistry of Coconut Creek, your dentist and dental hygienist perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment — with a focus on early intervention, comfort, and long-term oral health.

Gum disease develops when bacteria, plaque, and tartar collect beneath the gumline, irritating surrounding tissues. If left untreated, this inflammation can damage the gums and eventually the bone that supports the teeth.

Treatment Options for Periodontal Disease

Early-Stage Gum Disease (Gingivitis)

When periodontal disease is identified early and no bone loss is present, treatment may include:

• One or two professional dental cleanings

• Personalized oral hygiene recommendations

• Regular preventive visits to maintain gum health

At this stage, gum disease is often reversible with proper care.

Scaling and Root Planning (Deep Cleaning)

For more advanced stages of gum disease, a specialized periodontal cleaning known as scaling and root planning may be recommended.

This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins from above and below the gumline while smoothing root surfaces to promote healing. Treatment is typically completed one section of the mouth at a time to ensure comfort.

Additional supportive care may include:

• Medicated rinses

• Targeted therapies to reduce bacteria

• At-home care recommendations to support healing

Advanced Periodontal Care & Specialist Referral

If periodontal pockets do not respond to deep cleaning alone, additional treatment may be necessary to reduce pocket depth and support long-term gum health. In some cases, referral to a periodontal specialist may be recommended.

Our team works closely with trusted specialists when needed, while continuing to coordinate your care and ongoing maintenance.
