Gum therapy helps treat periodontal disease, reduce inflammation, and protect oral health. At Great Hill Dental Partners in Boston, we provide personalized periodontal care focused on comfort and lasting wellness.
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining a strong, stable smile and supporting long-term oral health. At Great Hill Dental Partners in Boston, we provide gum therapy and periodontal treatment designed to address gum inflammation, infection, and tissue damage before these conditions become more advanced.
Gum disease may begin with symptoms such as bleeding, tenderness, or gum sensitivity, but can progress over time if left untreated. Advanced periodontal disease may contribute to gum recession, bone loss, chronic inflammation, and tooth loss. Our Boston dental team uses advanced diagnostic technology and personalized treatment planning to identify gum disease early and recommend appropriate care. Treatment may include deep cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibacterial therapy, periodontal maintenance, and guidance for improving oral hygiene habits to support healthier gums and long-term oral wellness.
In its earliest stage, known as gingivitis, gum disease can often be improved with professional cleanings and better oral hygiene habits. More advanced periodontal disease typically requires ongoing treatment and maintenance to control infection and inflammation.
Yes. Advanced periodontal disease can damage the gums and supporting bone around the teeth, potentially leading to tooth mobility and tooth loss if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment are important for protecting long-term oral health.
The cost of gum therapy in Boston depends on the severity of the condition, the type of treatment needed, and your insurance coverage. Our team can provide a personalized treatment estimate after evaluating your gum health.
Research continues to show links between gum disease and systemic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. Maintaining healthy gums may play an important role in supporting overall wellness.
Early symptoms of gum disease can include bleeding while brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum tenderness, and gum recession. Early treatment can help prevent more advanced periodontal problems from developing.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease below the gumline. The treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around the tooth roots to help reduce inflammation and support gum healing.
