Gum Disease Treatment in Detroit, MI

At our Detroit office, gum disease — periodontal disease — is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue and bone that support the teeth. It is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and one of the most undertreated chronic conditions in medicine. Gum disease progresses silently; the early stage, gingivitis, causes gum inflammation and bleeding but no pain.

Research has established clear links between advanced gum disease and serious systemic health conditions including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, respiratory disease serving Detroit and surrounding areas. And adverse pregnancy outcomes including premature birth and low birth weight.

Non-surgical gum disease treatment — scaling and root planing — uses specialized instruments to remove calculus and bacterial toxins from tooth surfaces both above and below the gumline, including the root surfaces. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically completed in two appointments.

After scaling and root planing, we schedule re-evaluation appointments to assess healing and measure gum pocket depths. Many patients achieve significant improvement through non-surgical treatment alone.
