Gum Disease Treatment (Periodontal Therapy)

Due to studies continually unearthing new information about the link between oral health and overall health, gum disease has garnered a lot of attention recently. If you can believe it, nearly three-quarters of the population has some form of this condition, which has been linked to heart, lung, and other organ disease. Among pregnant women, periodontal problems can lead to their baby's low birth weight or even premature births.

When you visit our Tyler, TX dental office, we always check thoroughly for gum disease, among other conditions like oral cancer and TMD (disorder of the jaw joints). If you are in an advanced stage of the disease, we can schedule a series of scaling and planning treatments to prevent further damage or make the proper referral to a specialist if necessary. We offer the following periodontal therapy services:

• Dentrix Charting and Diagnostic Services
• Non-surgical periodontal therapy
• Oral Health Instruction
