Protect Your Gum Health & Enjoy Better Overall Health

Early gum disease can turn into major trouble if ignored. The team at West County Dental offers simple, non-surgical options to stop gum problems before they can seriously harm your smile and health.

Plaque builds up when you miss spots while brushing and flossing. This sticky film hardens into tartar, causing your gums to pull away from your teeth. You might notice redness, puffiness, or bleeding during brushing. Without care, this leads to tooth loss and affects your overall health.

Our gentle gum therapy includes:

  • Scaling – We’ll remove hardened tartar from your teeth and under your gums, eliminating harmful bacteria.
  • Root Planing – We smooth rough spots on tooth roots where bacteria hide. This allows your gums to heal and reattach.
  • Laser Care – Advanced laser technology cleans infected areas with pinpoint accuracy and minimal discomfort.
  • Antibiotic Treatment – Medicine applied directly to your gums fights infection and speeds healing between visits.

These treatments are part of our general dentistry. They help restore pink, healthy gums and freshen your breath. Most patients see improvements within a week, with continued healing over time.

Our team will numb your gums before treatment to keep you comfortable. If you feel nervous or are worried about discomfort, you can also receive sedation.
