Why Periodontal Health Matters
Healthy gums and underlying bone are essential to holding your teeth firmly in place. Without periodontal care, inflammation and infection can damage that foundation, leading to tooth mobility or loss.
At Dailley Dental Care, Dr. Teah Nguyen helps preserve and restore your periodontal health so your smile lasts a lifetime.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease exists on a spectrum. It starts with gingivitis—reversible inflammation of the gums—and may progress to periodontitis, a destructive condition that affects bone, connective tissues, and teeth.
Common Causes & Risk Factors
- Plaque buildup and bacterial biofilm
- Poor oral hygiene and irregular cleanings
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Diabetes or uncontrolled health conditions
- Genetic predisposition, stress, or medications that reduce saliva flow
Signs & Consequences of Poor Periodontal Health
Because advanced gum disease often develops silently, you should watch for:
- Gums that bleed, swell, or appear red
- Receding gums or teeth appearing longer
- Persistent bad breath or foul taste
- Loose teeth or shifting position
- Pain when chewing or pus around gums
Our Periodontal Care Approach
Dr. Nguyen uses a personalized, evidence-based approach to treat and maintain gum health:
- Comprehensive exam & pocket measurements
- Scaling & root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque below the gumline
- Local antimicrobial therapy or medications as needed
- Maintenance cleanings and frequent monitoring
- Surgical or regenerative procedures for advanced cases (graft, flap, guided tissue regeneration)
