Gum Disease Treatment in Rowlett, TX
Restore Healthier Gums with Advanced Periodontal Therapy
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria along and below the gumline. If not treated, it can destroy the bone and tissue that support your teeth.
- Gingivitis – The earliest stage, marked by red, swollen, or bleeding gums.
- Periodontitis – A more advanced stage that can cause gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth.
Early detection is key—regular checkups can prevent serious complications.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease often develops quietly, but there are common signs that shouldn’t be ignored:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath or bad taste
- Gum recession or teeth that appear longer
- Loose or shifting teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an exam with our Rowlett dental team.
Advanced Treatment with GumX
We’re proud to offer GumX, a modern, non-surgical treatment for gum disease that helps eliminate bacteria and promote healing without invasive procedures.
- Gentle Application – GumX is applied directly into infected gum pockets to kill bacteria on contact.
- Anti-Inflammatory Formula – Helps reduce swelling and inflammation quickly and comfortably.
- Safe & Non-Invasive – No cutting, sutures, or downtime required.
- Fast Results – Patients often notice reduced bleeding and inflammation within days.
GumX is ideal for mild to moderate gum disease—and may help patients avoid surgery altogether.
Other Periodontal Treatment Options
Depending on your condition, we may recommend a combination of therapies to restore your gum health:
- Scaling & Root Planing – Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and bacteria.
- Antibacterial Rinses – Prescription mouthwashes to reduce infection and promote healing.
- Ongoing Maintenance Visits – More frequent cleanings to monitor and control the disease long term.
We’ll customize your treatment plan based on the severity of your gum disease and your overall oral health.
