Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, untreated gum disease has been linked to various systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Seeking prompt treatment is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding tobacco use, and visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups. Our Wilmington gum disease dentist can provide personalized advice to help you keep your gums healthy for life.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gum disease is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care. However, advanced periodontal disease may require more intensive treatments to manage and control. Regular dental visits are crucial for detecting and addressing gum issues in their early stages.
Ready to treat your gum disease? Here’s how!
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
This thorough, below-the-gumline cleaning removes the bacterial buildup that regular cleanings can’t reach. Think of it as giving your gums a fresh start. Most patients experience significant improvement within just a few weeks, with reduced bleeding, less swelling, and fresher breath.
Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance
Success doesn’t end with treatment. Our customized maintenance program keeps your gums healthy long-term, with regular check-ups and cleanings tailored to your specific needs.
