Gum Disease Treatment in San Diego
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults — but it does not have to be. Mesa Family Dental offers advanced periodontal treatments including LANAP laser therapy and ARESTIN antibiotic therapy to restore your gum health.
Know the Signs
Do You Have Gum Disease?
Nearly half of American adults over 30 have some form of gum disease. Early detection is critical — the sooner it is treated, the better the outcome and the less invasive the treatment.
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Receding gum line (teeth look longer)
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pus between teeth and gums
- Changes in your bite
- Pain when chewing
Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis
Early / Reversible
Inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Gums may bleed when brushing. Fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved hygiene.
Periodontitis
Moderate
Infection has spread below the gum line. Gum pockets form around teeth. Bone loss begins. Deep cleaning and antibiotic therapy are effective.
Advanced Periodontitis
Severe
Significant bone and tissue loss. Teeth may become loose. Advanced treatments like LANAP laser therapy can still save teeth in many cases.
