Why Gum Disease Treatment is So Important 

In the earliest stages of periodontitis, there are few to minimal symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose the existing issue. Because of this, many individuals with the disease do not realize they have it, and proper treatment is not sought out until the condition has worsened. Eventually, the harmful plaque that has built-up on enamel hardens, forming calculus (tartar). Regular hygiene such as brushing and flossing will not be enough for the buildup to be properly removed. 

When the initial signs of gum disease are discovered early, Drs. Richard and Reid Owens can provide the necessary treatments to address the issues of periodontal disease effectively and efficiently. 

Compassionate Periodontal Care form Drs. Richard and Reid Owens

Patients suspected of having gum disease undergo a comprehensive examination conducted by our experienced, yet gentle team. We utilize our well-equipped office technology that includes digital panoramic x-rays to determine the level of severity. Many cases of gingivitis and initial periodontitis are manageable and can be controlled in our office. 

Patients visiting our dental practice in need of gum disease treatment can have complete confidence in their care as we offer the following non-surgical services:

Scaling and Root Planing – utilizing specialized instruments, tartar is removed from the surfaces of teeth and below the gumline. This effective treatment allows the gums to reattach to teeth once the harmful plaque is eliminated, reduces periodontal pockets, remaining minimally invasive. 

Regular Maintenance - Additional deep cleaning procedures may be necessary to achieve renewed oral health. Drs. Richard and Reid Owens also provide dietary advice and educate our patients on proper hygiene techniques to ensure continued improvement in the smile.
