Suffering From Gum Disease in Ft. Lauderdale?

Important News: Gum disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gums and the tooth supporting bones of your jaw. If left untreated, gum disease advances to something more serious.

Frankly, many people deal with the symptoms of gum disease – bad breath, tender or bleeding gums, pain when eating and more. And unfortunately many people come to see us when problems have persisted, are ongoing and serious.

“When patients who are suffering from gum disease come into our offices, they often feel frustrated and uncertain as to what their options are. Our goal is to help them better understand their condition and how certain treatment options can help correct their gums and teeth so they’re healthier,” says Ft. Lauderdale periodontist, Dr. Nick DeTure.

Individualized Treatment Options

At the Broward Center for Laser Periodontics and Implants, the doctors and staff understand their patient’s condition and how treatment options can help correct issues. Depending on your specific case, there are many options for addressing your symptoms.

For those with advanced gum disease, laser surgery can help. Small, pinpoint directed lasers remove infected tissue. It’s a great option for attacking just the infected tissue (and not healthy tissue) – and because of this – the initial process is far more comfortable to endure and the recovery period after treatment is quicker.

Early Diagnosis is Key

Getting to a specialist early is a key way to keep gum disease becoming too serious. Seeing your regular dentist on a regular schedule (1 – 2 per year for most adults) should offer you the best chance for early diagnosis. And just paying attention to how your gums and teeth feel is very important. Pain and bleeding are sure indicators that something is not right with your teeth and gums.
