At Huisman Family Dentistry, our Holland gum disease treatment focuses on more than just your teeth—our goal is to support your overall health. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to serious health issues, including heart disease, strokes, diabetes complications, premature births, and even cancer.
Recognizing Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease often develops silently, but common symptoms include:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Puffy or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Loose or shifting teeth
Addressing these signs early can prevent significant damage to your teeth and gums.
Oral DNA Screening for Personalized Care
We utilize advanced Oral DNA Screening to detect oral cancer susceptibility, pathogenic bacteria, and genetic risk factors for gum disease. This early detection helps us create customized treatment plans and facilitates proactive care to protect your health. For patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes, treating gum disease is even more critical, as it can exacerbate existing conditions.
Advanced Periodontal Treatments
Modern techniques and technologies make gum disease treatment more thorough and comfortable than ever.
Laser Treatment
Our laser therapy targets and eliminates infected tissue with precision, speed, and minimal discomfort, promoting faster healing and improved outcomes.
Scaling
To combat gum disease, we carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gum line. This process helps clean and heal your gums, reducing inflammation and promoting attachment to your teeth.
Custom Antibiotics
For more advanced infections, we may prescribe oral antibiotics to support your treatment and accelerate healing. Once the infection is under control, your gums can begin to recover and tighten around your teeth.
Home Therapies
Good oral hygiene is essential for long-term gum health. We recommend brushing 2–3 times daily, flossing, and using prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste or rinses. An oral irrigator can also help keep your gums clean and healthy between dental visits.
A Healthy Mouth for a Healthy Life
At Huisman Family Dentistry, we believe in the connection between oral health and overall well-being. Our personalized, compassionate care ensures that your gum disease treatment is effective, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.
