Periodontal Care

Protecting Your Smile with Expert Gum Care

At Dr. Doanh Nguyen's clinic, we are committed to helping you maintain healthy gums and prevent periodontal disease. Periodontal care is essential for preventing and treating gum disease, which can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. Our team provides a comprehensive range of treatments designed to protect and restore your gum health.


Understanding Gum Disease: Gingivitis and Periodontitis

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the gums and bones supporting the teeth. The early stage of gum disease is called gingivitis, which is characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss.

Gingivitis and Periodontitis


Treating Gingivitis: Reversing Early Gum Disease

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease and can often be reversed with prompt treatment. Our approach to treating gingivitis includes professional cleanings and educating patients on proper oral hygiene techniques. Regular dental visits and good home care are key to preventing gingivitis from progressing to more serious periodontal conditions.

  • Professional Cleanings: We remove plaque and tartar buildup that contribute to gum inflammation and disease.
  • Oral Hygiene Education: We provide guidance on brushing, flossing, and other techniques to keep your gums healthy.
  • Regular Monitoring: We monitor your gum health at each visit to ensure that any signs of gingivitis are caught early and treated effectively.


Advanced Periodontal Treatments: Managing Periodontitis


For patients with advanced gum disease, we offer specialized treatments to manage periodontitis and prevent further damage. These treatments may include deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, as well as more advanced surgical interventions if necessary.


  • Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the roots of the teeth to help gums reattach.
  • Gum Grafting: A surgical procedure used to cover exposed roots or to increase gum tissue in areas where it has receded.
  • Periodontal Maintenance: Regular follow-up visits to monitor and maintain gum health after treatment for periodontitis.

Our goal is to provide effective treatment that stops the progression of gum disease and preserves your oral health.

Gum Grafting: Restoring Receding Gums

Gum recession can be caused by a variety of factors, including periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or even genetics. Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that involves taking tissue from another part of your mouth (or using donor tissue) and grafting it onto the affected area to cover exposed roots and prevent further recession.

  • Protecting Exposed Roots: Gum grafting helps protect exposed tooth roots from decay and sensitivity.
  • Improving Aesthetics: This procedure can improve the appearance of your smile by restoring a more natural gum line.
  • Preventing Further Damage: Gum grafting helps prevent further gum recession and protects your teeth from potential damage.

Our experienced team will work with you to determine the best approach for your gum grafting procedure, ensuring optimal results and a healthier smile.
