Comprehensive periodontal care to protect your teeth and your overall well-being.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Periodontal (gum) health is vital not just for your teeth, but for your overall systemic health. Research has shown that the health of your gums is closely linked to other conditions, including heart disease and diabetes, making preventative gum care a top priority for our team.
We are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease in all its stages. During your routine visits, we perform thorough screenings to catch early signs of gingivitis before they progress. By maintaining healthy gums, you protect your teeth from mobility and loss, ensuring your smile lasts a lifetime.
If gum disease is present, a standard cleaning may not be enough to reach the bacteria causing the issue. We offer Scaling and Root Planing, often referred to as a "deep cleaning."
Modern dentistry has confirmed that oral health is a gateway to the rest of the body. Inflammation in the gums can contribute to inflammation in the bloodstream. Maintaining regular periodontal check-ups is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support your heart health and immune system. At Prairie Dental Center, we view gum care as an essential part of your total body wellness plan.
Protecting your gums is the best way to protect your natural teeth for years to come. Whether you need a routine screening or a restorative deep cleaning, our gentle team is here to provide the thorough, patient-focused care you deserve.
In its earliest stage, called gingivitis, gum disease is often reversible with professional cleanings and improved home care. However, once it progresses to periodontitis (where bone loss occurs), it becomes a condition we must manage and maintain to prevent further damage.
Our team prioritizes your comfort. We use local anesthetics to ensure the area is completely numb before we begin. Most patients find the procedure to be very comfortable and report a significant improvement in how their gums feel afterward.
We perform a periodontal screening during every routine check-up. Depending on your health history, we may recommend visits every 3, 4, or 6 months to keep your gum health on track.
