Gentle Gum Care for a Healthier Smile — Phone Support Available 24/7

We treat bleeding gums, gum disease, and early bone loss with advanced periodontal care, including gentle laser therapy and deep cleanings designed to control infection and protect healthy tissue. Our approach focuses on stopping gum disease early, preserving natural teeth, and improving long-term oral health with comfortable, predictable care. At Gold Coast Dental, we provide periodontal care across our CA and TX locations. To find the closest office, visit our Gold Coast Dental locations page.
  • Prevalence: Gum disease affects roughly 45.5% of American adults according to recent CDC data, with rates climbing in men, smokers and those with diabetes (CDC, 2025).
  • Non‑surgical success: Scaling & root planing can significantly reduce pocket depths. In moderate pockets (4–6 mm), depths may shrink by up to 80%, while the deepest pockets (>7 mm) also show dramatic reductions (Pihlstrom et al., 1981).
  • Safe sedation: In a 10‑year review of 128 dental procedures using nitrous oxide‑oxygen inhalation sedation for anxious patients, no adverse events were reported (Ghabchi et al., 2025).
  • Regular maintenance: After active therapy, periodontal maintenance visits every 3–4 months combined with daily brushing and flossing help prevent relapse and tooth loss.
Healthy Gums for Stronger, Lasting Teeth

What Is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the specialty that prevents, diagnoses and treats diseases of the gums and bone surrounding your teeth. Healthy gums provide a firm foundation for eating, speaking and smiling. When plaque and tartar build up, the gums become inflamed (gingivitis) and can progress to periodontitis—a destructive infection that causes gum recession and bone loss.

Our periodontists manage everything from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Treatments include scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), laser therapy, pocket reduction surgery, gum grafts, cosmetic gum recontouring and implant placement when teeth cannot be saved. With regular maintenance and home care, we help you keep your natural teeth for life.

Your First Visit, Made Simple

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit at Gold Coast Dental focuses on comfort, clarity, and understanding your oral health. Here’s what typically happens during your 30–60-minute visit:

Comprehensive Evaluation

We measure pocket depths, take digital X-rays, and discuss your concerns to create a periodontal plan tailored to your needs.

Personalized Treatment Plan

Your periodontist reviews all findings and recommends the right steps for healthier gums, from deep cleanings to surgical options.

Active Treatment Phase

Deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar. Follow-ups may be every few weeks or months based on how your gums respond to care.

Long-Term Maintenance

Cleanings every 3–6 months and guidance on home care help protect your gums and support lasting periodontal health.
Healthy Gums are the Foundation of a Healthy Mouth.

Why Periodontal Care Matters

Untreated gum disease doesn’t just cause bad breath—it destroys the bone and connective tissues that support your teeth. As pockets deepen and infection spreads, teeth become loose and may fall out. Periodontal bacteria have also been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes complications and pregnancy problems. Taking care of your gums protects your overall health and allows you to keep your natural teeth.

Early intervention keeps treatment conservative. Scaling & root planing can halt disease progression if caught in time. Delaying care can lead to painful abscesses, emergency swelling and costly surgery. We encourage regular checkups and maintenance to keep your gums firm and infection‑free.

Gum Care After Treatment

Brush along the gumline with a soft‑bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste twice a day. Use an interdental brush or floss to clean between teeth and under the gums. Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria. Avoid tobacco and limit sugary snacks, which feed bacteria. Replace your toothbrush every 3–4 months. If you have a nightguard or splint, wear it as directed to prevent clenching and further recession.

 

Emergency & Urgent Periodontal Care

Same‑day relief for swollen or painful gums. Periodontal abscesses and sudden swelling need immediate attention.

Call us if you experience severe gum pain, Loose or shifting teeth, receding gum line (teeth look longer), persistent bad breath, swelling, bleeding that won’t stop.

We’ll see you as soon as possible, clean the infected area, drain any pus and prescribe medication to control the infection. We use pain-free laser technology and sedation options are available. Timely treatment prevents tooth loss and relieves discomfort quickly.
