Hygiene and Periodontal Care
Achieve healthy, beautiful gums and protect your overall wellness with expert periodontal care and advanced hygiene solutions.
Comprehensive Periodontal Therapy for Every Stage of Gum Disease
Gum disease is a progressive infection that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and systemic health issues. At Stonehaven Dental, Dr. Timothy Matthews and his team provide specialized care to address everything from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Utilizing non-surgical deep cleanings—including scaling and root planing—and targeted antibiotic therapy, we remove deep-seated plaque and tartar to allow your gums to heal naturally. Our goal is to stabilize your oral health and prevent the infection from affecting your jawbone or entering your bloodstream.
Hygiene and Periodontal Care
Tooth Loss Prevention
By treating gum disease early, we protect the periodontal ligaments and underlying bone that keep your natural teeth securely in place.
Total Body Health Protection
Professional gum care reduces the risk of the infection spreading to your bloodstream, which has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.
Healthier, More Comfortable Gums
Treatment eliminates the bacteria causing swelling, tenderness, and bleeding, restoring comfort to your daily brushing and flossing routine.
Personalized Maintenance Plans
For patients at higher risk, such as smokers or those with diabetes, we provide tailored hygiene schedules to ensure long-term stability and a beautiful smile.
Questions
Find answers to common concerns about whitening treatments and what to expect.
Common symptoms of the early stage (gingivitis) include red, swollen, or tender gums that bleed easily during brushing or flossing, as well as tooth sensitivity.
This is a non-surgical two-part procedure: scaling removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and below the gumline, while root planing smoothes the roots to help gums reattach.
Not at all. We use gentle techniques and potent local anesthetics to ensure you feel only mild pressure during the procedure. We also provide aftercare tips for a seamless recovery.
When left untreated, bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream, potentially triggering or worsening conditions like heart disease, dementia, and diabetes.
Individuals at higher risk or those managing periodontitis are often advised to visit our office every 3-4 months for specialized cleanings and monitoring.
