Your oral health is an essential part of your overall well-being, and we are here to support you every step of the way. At Meridiana Family Dental, we provide compassionate treatment for gum health and the structures that support your teeth. Whether you’re seeking gum disease treatment, need assistance with gum recession, or are looking to freshen your breath through deep dental cleaning, our dedicated team is here to help. Your smile is our top priority!
Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, confident smile and play a vital role in your overall health. When your gums are healthy, they provide essential support to your teeth, ensuring they remain securely in place.
Additionally, maintaining gum health can help prevent systemic issues, as gum disease has been linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. By caring for your gums through proper hygiene and regular dental check-ups, you are investing in both your smile and your long-term well-being.
Common signs of gum disease include redness, swelling, or tenderness in the gums, as well as persistent bad breath. Also, you may notice bleeding during brushing or flossing, receding gums, or loose teeth in more advanced stages.
Periodontic work can vary in discomfort depending on the procedure and the severity of the condition, but advancements in modern dentistry ensure that pain is often minimal and well-managed. Dentists use anesthetics and aftercare strategies to help keep patients as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
While early stages of gum disease, like gingivitis, can often be managed with improved oral hygiene and regular cleaning, more advanced cases require professional treatment to fully address the problem. Seeking professional care is essential to effectively halt the progression of gum disease and protect your oral health.
Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by inflammation and irritation of the gums, often reversible with proper care. Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that involves damage to the supporting structures of the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss if untreated.
Meridiana Family Dental believes in creating a welcoming and understanding environment where your concerns are heard, and your care is personalized to meet your unique needs. With state-of-the-art technology and a commitment to continuous learning, we strive to deliver the best possible outcomes for every patient we serve. Together, we can work toward improving your gum health and ensuring that your smile stays strong and vibrant for years to come.
“Dr. Sung is attentive and a master at his craft. Dr. Sung and his team make sure the patient is comfortable during any procedure and are always ready to listen…I was nervous about the root canal procedure before it began, but my nerves were calmed a little bit into it. Dr. Sung uses some awesome and new technology with his work, which is settling to know. They have changed my opinion on root canal procedures and I very much respect the team there. Thank you!”
