Gum Disease Therapy
Gum (periodontal) disease is a bacterial infection that presents few or no symptoms in the early stage. Up to 80% of the population unknowingly has some form of this stealthy disease. Left untreated, gum disease can cause significant damage to your smile and has been linked to heart problems, pregnancy complications, and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Weimar offers non-surgical therapies to stop the progression of gum disease and promote periodontal health.
We treat early-stage gum disease, called gingivitis, with a deep cleaning using gentle ultrasonic technology and instruction on proper brushing and flossing techniques. Antibiotic therapy often alleviates moderate cases of gum disease. If your gum disease is severe, Dr. Weimar may recommend that you see a periodontist, a specialist with advanced training in treating gum disease.
