Gum Disease Therapy

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, often sneaks in undetected. Many people are unaware that they have early stage gum disease, until it begins to advance causing red, irritated, sensitive gums. The good news is, Dr. Ruocco can identify signs of gum disease before symptoms and problems set in.

Why is Stopping Gum Disease so Important?

Periodontitis is the number one cause of adult tooth loss in the United States. As many as 8 in 10 adults suffer from this silent smile stealer. In addition, gum disease can lead to serious health issues, including heart attack, stroke, and memory loss. At Ruocco Dental, we care about your oral health and overall health. We offer gum disease therapy designed to stop the progression of bacteria and restore vitality to your smile.

Gum Disease Therapy

By detecting problems early at your regular dental checkups, we can often treat it with non-surgical therapy including:

• Scaling — to remove hardened plaque from below the gum line
• Root Planing — to reduce rough areas on teeth roots
• Antibiotic Therapy — to battle infection

Don't let gum disease affect your smile, or your quality of life. Contact us for your appointment today.
