Gum Disease Treatment
Protect your gums and your natural teeth with gum disease treatment at Most Dental in Las Vegas, NV. Finding and treating gum disease early helps keep your smile healthy for years to come.
HEALTHY GUMS FOR A HEALTHY SMILE
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums and the structures that support your teeth. It often starts quietly, with gums that are red, swollen, or bleed when you brush. At Most Dental, we provide gum disease treatment in Las Vegas, NV, to help bring your gums back to health.
The early stage, gingivitis, can usually be reversed with professional cleanings and good daily care. If it is not treated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and the supporting bone can be damaged.
Our team will check the health of your gums at every visit, explain what we find, and recommend a treatment plan designed to control the infection and protect your teeth.

YOUR VISIT, EXPLAINED
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING GUM DISEASE TREATMENT
Your treatment is based on how advanced the gum disease is and what your gums need to heal.
Periodontal Examination
Your dentist checks your gums for redness, swelling, and bleeding, measures the spaces (pockets) between your teeth and gums, and may take X-rays to check the supporting bone.
Professional Cleaning
Plaque and tartar are removed from your teeth. For early gum disease, a thorough professional cleaning and better daily habits may be all that is needed.
Deep Cleaning When Needed
If the pockets are deeper, scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning) removes tartar below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces so the gums can heal.
Ongoing Maintenance
Regular follow-up visits and cleanings help keep gum disease under control and let us track how your gums are healing.
KNOW THE SIGNS OF GUM DISEASE
Common signs of gum disease include gums that bleed when you brush or floss, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gums that are pulling away from the teeth, and teeth that feel loose or sensitive.
Gum disease is often painless in its early stages, so many people don’t know they have it. Regular checkups and cleanings are the best way to find it early.
Smoking, diabetes, certain medications, hormonal changes, and skipping brushing and flossing can all raise your risk. Let us know about any of these so we can tailor your care.
Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting us for regular cleanings are the most important things you can do to keep your gums healthy after treatment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GUM DISEASE
What is gum disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and the tissues that hold your teeth in place, caused by plaque and tartar buildup. Its early stage is called gingivitis and its advanced stage periodontitis.
How much does gum disease treatment cost in Las Vegas, NV?
The cost depends on how advanced the gum disease is and the treatment you need. Contact Most Dental for an examination and a personalized treatment estimate.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the early stage, can usually be reversed with professional cleanings and good daily oral care. Periodontitis can be controlled with treatment, but damage to the bone cannot always be undone, which is why early care matters.
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gingivitis. If your gums bleed regularly, schedule a checkup so we can find the cause.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
Most treatments are comfortable. For deep cleanings, the area can be numbed. Some tenderness or sensitivity afterward is normal and usually short-lived.
Can gum disease cause tooth loss?
Yes. Advanced gum disease can damage the bone that supports your teeth, causing them to loosen and eventually be lost. Treating it early helps prevent this.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, avoid tobacco, and visit us for regular cleanings and checkups. Professional cleanings remove the tartar that home care cannot.
