“What is gum disease?”
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It’s mostly caused by insufficient oral hygiene, which leads to plaque build-up on your teeth and gums. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to other serious issues such as tooth loss and bone loss, and affect your overall health.
Although gum disease is a common cause of gum bleeding, there may be other causes, such as hormonal changes or flossing too hard. At Dental Minds, our Logan Square bleeding gums dentists can identify the source of your symptoms and find the best treatment option for you.
A close look at deep cleaning for gum disease
Defend your mouth from periodontal problems
Deep cleanings are medically known as scaling and root planing procedures. They’re different from regular cleanings and a common treatment for gum disease. This treatment involves 2 stages:
- Scaling — the process of gently removing plaque and tartar, not just from your teeth, but from the hidden areas beneath the gum line too.
- Root planing — involves smoothing out your tooth roots, promoting healing, and helping prevent future gum disease issues.
Dental Insurance & Financing
“Does dental insurance cover bleeding gums treatment?”
We work with many PPO insurance providers to make treatment for gum disease more affordable.
As the extent of your coverage can vary, our front office team will review the specifics of your policy and give you a clear estimate of your out-of-pocket costs. At our practice, we aim to give you complete and clear information to help you make informed decisions about your oral health.
Not insured? Don’t worry. We also accept other forms of payment. Ask us about our cash prices!
