Looking for Gum Disease Treatment in La Jolla?
Why see a dentist like Gary Sigafoos, Gary M Sigafoos, DDS in La Jolla? What kind of gum disease treatment options can he offer? What would the effects of periodontal (gum) disease be on your mouth and body if you neglect your gums?
Gum disease occurs most frequently when trapped bacteria gets caught in the gums and may lead to bone loss in the mouth or even infection that affects the patient's heart. That's why Dr. Sigafoos may notice some early signs of gum disease such as bad breath, loose teeth, bleeding gums, and pockets (extra space in between the tooth and the gum). If the periodontal infection is invasive or pockets are quite large, he may suggest surgical treatment - which can often regenerate decaying bone matter. If you are suffering from only a minor form of gingivitis, Dr. Gary Sigafoos may perform scaling or root planing, which involves removing the plaque in these deep pockets.
Complete the online form or call Gary M Sigafoos, DDS - whatever's most convenient for you - to set up a gum disease treatment appointment with Dr. Gary Sigafoos today! Gum disease is too invasive a problem - not only for your mouth, but for your body as well - to put off making an appointment any longer. Dr. Sigafoos can help you achieve a beautiful smile!
Gum disease such as gingivitis can oftentimes be a "silent" invader - even a silent killer - that leads to bleeding gums, bad breath, bone loss in the jaw, or even heart attacks. Regular screenings at our La Jolla office to prevent infected gums and regular treatment of already infected gums are essential to your health!
