Maintaining Your Healthy Smile at LPK Dental

Your gums are a cornerstone of your oral health. They provide the foundation for your teeth and protect your roots from harmful bacteria. When your gums are healthy, you can smile, eat, and speak with confidence, peace of mind, and a radiant smile.

At LPK Dental, our passionate and experienced team is all about helping you achieve optimal gum health through our comprehensive and gentle periodontics services.

Understanding Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection that affects the tissues and bones supporting your teeth.

How Can I Spot Common Signs of Gum Disease?

It’s important to be aware of the signs of gum disease so you can seek treatment early. Here are some common indicators:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
• Receding gums
• Loose or separating teeth
• Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth

Our Periodontics Services

• Gum Disease Therapy: Our experienced dentists, Dr. Liesen, Dr. Pinzl, and Dr. Kessinger, will assess your gum health, create a personalized treatment plan, and walk you through anything you need to know to keep your gums looking and feeling their best.
• Periodontal Laser Therapy: We utilize advanced laser technology for minimally invasive gum disease treatment. This means less time spent in the dental chair, less discomfort, and much faster healing!
• Scaling & Root Planing: This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline where normal brushing isn’t effective, helping to restore gum health.

Benefits of Healthy Gums

• Improved Oral Health: Healthy gums contribute to a healthy mouth, reducing the risk of tooth loss and other oral health issues.
• Enhanced Appearance: Maintaining your gums can improve the aesthetics of your smile with an even color, a brighter smile, and fresher breath.
• Increased Confidence: When you have healthy gums, you can smile, eat, and speak with confidence.
• Better Overall Health: Studies have shown a link between gum disease and other health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Taking care of your gums can benefit your overall well-being.
