Premier Dental of York Periodontal Dentistry

Periodontal Care and Gum Health

Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, lasting smile. At Premier Dental of York, we protect your gum health. Periodontal disease, also called gum disease, starts with plaque buildup. If untreated, it can lead to infection, bone loss, and tooth loss.

We offer early detection and effective treatment for all stages of gum disease. Our team uses gentle, modern techniques to restore gum health.

Gum Disease Diagnosis
We examine your gums during every visit. We check for redness, swelling, bleeding, and pocket depth. Early signs often go unnoticed.

Scaling and Root Planing
This deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar below the gumline. We smooth root surfaces to help gums reattach to teeth.

Gum Maintenance
After treatment, we schedule regular cleanings to prevent disease from returning. Ongoing care keeps your gums healthy and strong.

Personalized Home Care Advice
We teach proper brushing and flossing techniques. We may suggest special rinses or tools for sensitive or deep pockets. In more severe cases, we may refer you to a specialist. We coordinate care and support your full recovery.

Gum disease affects your entire body, not just your mouth. It’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. Treating gum disease early helps protect your overall health. It also prevents tooth loss and keeps your smile looking great.

Our team understands the importance of comfort and trust. We explain your options and answer every question. We make every visit stress-free.

Don’t ignore bleeding gums or bad breath. These may be signs of gum disease. Let us help restore your gum health. Contact Premier Dental of York today. Schedule your periodontal evaluation and take the first step toward a healthier smile.
