Gum disease affects a significant portion of adults and is often linked to other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Symptoms can include bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, and tooth sensitivity. Without timely care, it can lead to tooth loss and long-term oral health complications.

Two of the key treatment options now available include:

Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation – A minimally invasive technique for addressing gum recession without the use of sutures or scalpels. This approach involves repositioning the gum tissue to cover exposed roots, promoting better aesthetics and oral health with reduced recovery time.

Scaling and Root Planing (SRP) – A non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line. SRP is often used as a first-line treatment for early gum disease and helps prevent further progression by smoothing root surfaces and reducing inflammation.

“These techniques allow us to provide patients with targeted care that is both effective and less invasive than traditional surgical methods,” said Dr. Bond-Southard.

The clinic also offers additional periodontal services such as gingivectomies and localized antibiotic therapy (Arestin) to support long-term healing and disease control.

Southard Family Dentistry continues to focus on early diagnosis, patient education, and personalized care to support gum and overall health.
