Periodontal Treatment in Gilbert, AZ

Gum disease is one of the most common dental conditions, affecting nearly half of adults over 30. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and has been linked to systemic health issues including heart disease and diabetes. At Lindsay Crossing Dental and Aesthetics, our experienced hygiene team provides comprehensive periodontal treatment right here in our Gilbert office.

Signs You May Need Gum Disease Treatment

Many people don't realize they have gum disease because early stages are often painless. Warning signs include gums that bleed when you brush or floss, red, swollen, or tender gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums that make teeth look longer, and loose or shifting teeth.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait—early intervention is key to preventing irreversible damage.

Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

The primary treatment for gum disease is scaling and root planing, often called a "deep cleaning." This procedure goes below the gumline to remove bacterial plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can't reach.

Katelin Bringhurst, our registered dental hygienist and co-owner, brings extensive experience treating periodontal disease. Her gentle yet thorough technique makes even deep cleanings as comfortable as possible. We also offer nitrous oxide for patients who need additional relaxation during treatment.

Our Experienced Hygiene Team

Katelin graduated from Idaho State University in 2012 with a bachelor's in dental hygiene. Her commitment to patient education means you'll leave understanding not just what was done, but why it matters and how to maintain your gum health at home.

Preventing Gum Disease

Prevention is always preferable to treatment. Regular dental cleanings every six months, consistent brushing and flossing, and maintaining a healthy diet all contribute to gum health.
