Stay Ahead of Gum Disease
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place, caused by plaque buildup and bacteria. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Early detection and treatment are crucial in managing gum disease effectively. At New You Dental Center, our skilled periodontists are here to diagnose and treat gum disease effectively, helping you maintain a healthy smile and avoid long-term problems.
Periodontal Disease Will Not Go Away by Itself
Taking action early is the best way to keep your gums healthy. Gum disease can often be managed with deep cleaning techniques like scaling and root planing, which remove harmful plaque and tartar. If ignored, it might progress to the point where surgery is needed to save your teeth. At New You Dental Center, we focus on early intervention and effective treatment to keep your smile bright and healthy. Our experienced team is ready to address your concerns and provide the care you need.
To determine if you have gum disease, assess its severity, and recommend the appropriate treatment, our periodontist will:
- Review your medical history
- Examine your month to look for plaque and calculus and check for bleeding.
- Measure the pocket depth
- Take dental X-rays

Will Insurance Cover My Periodontal Treatment?
Our insurance coordinator will check if periodontal treatment will be covered fully by your insurance. If your treatment is not fully covered by insurance, we offer several forms of financing for dental treatment plans. Having periodontal treatment now may be less expensive than replacing a tooth lost to disease.
