Effective Gum Disease Treatment - Options and Insights for Recovery
Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can lead to bone loss, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and even Alzheimer’s if left untreated. This disease damages your gums, soft tissues, and the bones around your teeth, ranging from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis.
Gingivitis symptoms, such as swollen gums, bleeding gums, gum recession, and loose teeth, should never be ignored, as various risk factors can exacerbate these issues. Early treatment is essential to prevent further damage and progression of periodontal disease, ensuring a healthy mouth.

What Causes Gum Disease and Periodontal Disease?
The primary cause of gum disease is the buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Left untreated, this can result in gingivitis, the mildest form of gum disease, which can progress to periodontitis and eventually develop into advanced periodontitis.
Several factors can exacerbate gum disease, including the stage of gum disease and other risk factors such as:
- Smoking: It inhibits your mouth’s ability to fight off gum infection.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during pregnancy or menopause can make your gums more sensitive and vulnerable.
- Poor Nutrition: Deficiencies in essential nutrients can weaken your immune system and gums, heightening the risk of infection.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglect leads to the accumulation of plaque and tartar, which are the primary causes of gum disease.
- Stress: Impacts your body’s ability to fight infections, including those affecting your gums.
- Genetics: A family history of gum disease may increase your susceptibility to gum infections.
Dr. Reid uses advanced diagnostic techniques at our dental office to identify periodontal disease at its earliest stages and creates an effective, individualized treatment plan to halt the disease’s progression.
Periodontitis and Gingivitis Symptoms to Watch Out For
Early prevention of gum disease is crucial to avoid gingivitis and periodontitis. At Superior Smiles, our expert team is committed to stopping gum disease before it leads to tooth loss, gum recession, or other serious complications, also accounting for psychological factors that may impact oral health.
Warning signs that may indicate gingivitis or periodontitis include:
- Gum swelling
- Bleeding gums

- Gum recession
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
If you or a family member is experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule your FREE consultation at our Dallas office today. Early action can protect your oral health and prevent irreversible damage.
What Happens If Gum Disease Is Ignored?
Untreated periodontal disease can result in severe consequences, including red, swollen, bleeding gums, tooth loss, diabetes, and even heart disease. Plaque can harden into tartar, causing gum infections, gingivitis, and advanced periodontitis.
Brushing and flossing alone cannot remove tartar below your gum line, which provides an ideal environment for harmful bacteria. These bacteria may destroy gum tissue, cause infections, lead to bone loss, and potentially spread to loved ones.
Safeguard your oral health and your family’s health with routine dental checkups and cleanings. Dr. Reid and the team at Superior Smiles are dedicated to keeping your gums healthy.

Scaling and Root Planing — Deep Cleaning for Bleeding and Swollen Gums
One of the most effective non-surgical periodontal treatments is scaling and root planing. During this procedure, our skilled dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup beneath your gum line and cleanse the root surfaces of your teeth to prevent bacterial growth, often incorporating guided gum tissue regeneration for optimal outcomes.
What Is Dental Scaling for Gum Disease?
Dental scaling thoroughly removes plaque and tartar from both the visible tooth surfaces and areas below the gum line. Dr. Reid and our dental hygienists meticulously clean each tooth and the spaces between your gums and teeth. Regular scaling, typically every three months, is vital to prevent periodontal complications and support gum health.

Dental Deep Cleaning vs. Routine Dental Cleaning
Routine cleanings focus on maintaining the surface cleanliness of your teeth, eliminating food particles, plaque, and tartar as part of standard oral hygiene.
Deep dental cleaning, including scaling and root planing, targets advanced periodontal disease by cleaning below the gum line to remove infection-causing bacteria. Superior Smiles provides both routine and deep cleaning services to ensure comprehensive oral and gum health.
How Much Does Deep Dental Cleaning Cost?
The cost of deep dental cleaning varies based on the severity of gum disease, tartar accumulation, and infection levels. Superior Smiles accepts most insurance plans covering scaling and root planing, and we also provide flexible financing options to keep your treatment affordable.
Dr. Reid and the team are here to support you at every stage, from your initial consultation through any necessary surgical procedures and post-care, ensuring the best result for your dental and overall health.
