What Is Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Periodontal disease (or gum disease) is a condition that affects countless patients. This chronic dental condition is caused by a buildup of harmful bacteria around the gumline, which can lead to infection and bone loss. The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis, which is followed by periodontitis and then advanced periodontitis if it's not treated. As the condition gets worse, you may start to notice symptoms, like inflamed or red gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing your teeth, or chronically bad breath (halitosis), all of which may be a sign of infection. Our team at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics performs a variety of advanced techniques to manage periodontal disease and preserve your smile. If you have experienced any symptoms of gum disease or have been diagnosed with this condition in the past, contact our dental office in Benbrook, TX to receive the personalized care you need.
How Do You Treat Gum Disease?
Gum disease can worsen without proper treatment, which is why it's important to schedule regular dental visits to monitor the health of your teeth and gums. We diagnose periodontal disease at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics using a specialized tool that measures the pockets between your gums and teeth. Large gaps often need extra attention, as this is where plaque and tartar can accumulate. We may also perform x-rays and check your gums for inflammation or other signs of infection.
Treatments for periodontal disease include scaling and root planing, as well as antibiotics for more advanced cases. In the most severe cases of gum disease, we might recommend surgery to deep-clean the gums and rebuild lost jawbone.
What Are the Benefits of Periodontal Treatment?
Gum treatment at Hollywood Dental and Orthodontics offers a range of benefits that can significantly improve your dental health and overall wellness. Some of the key advantages of periodontal treatment at our Benbrook, TX office include:
- Promotes healthier gums by reducing swelling and bleeding
- Helps prevent tooth loss by strengthening the structures that support your teeth
- Improves the appearance of your gums and teeth for a more confident smile
- Minimizes bad breath often caused by gum problems
- Lowers the risk of health conditions associated with gum disease, like heart disease and diabetes
- Early treatment can help you avoid more complex and costly procedures later on
Gum disease treatment is typically covered by most dental insurance plans, but your coverage will depend on your specific policy and which stage of periodontal disease you are at. We invite you to talk to our friendly office staff if you are concerned about the cost of your gum disease treatment or your insurance coverage.

I have been going to this office for over a year. The new staff Dr.El, Synthia & Edgar are a breath of fresh air. Synthia is bright, welcoming and friendly! She is efficient and responds to questions quickly. Making appointments with her is a breeze. She also assisted me with finding a more affordable appointment for my oral surgery. Dr. El is super knowledgeable, friendly and encourages the best oral health for her patients. I recently had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out and although she did not do the procedure she gave me ease of mind with post and pre op instructions. Edgar is friendly and makes X-rays and set up for cleanings go smoothly! I will continue going here and wish the best success for the team and future patients.
