Periodontal Treatment
Orlando, FL

At Serene Dental, we provide tailored periodontal treatments to help our patients in Orlando restore their gum health and protect their smiles. Gum disease is more common than many people realize. It can begin with minor symptoms like bleeding or irritation, but when left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and impact your overall health.

Whether you’re dealing with bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, we’re here to provide the expert care you need.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic infection of the gums caused by plaque and bacteria buildup. It starts as gingivitis, which causes red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If not addressed, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages the bone and tissues supporting your teeth.

Common signs of gum disease include:

  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Receding gums or teeth that look longer
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or shifting teeth

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a periodontal evaluation with our team.

How We Treat Gum Disease

We offer multiple periodontal treatments that are designed to target infection, stop progression, and support long-term oral health. Depending on your needs and what stage of gum disease you have, treatment may include:

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

We remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the roots of your teeth to help your gums heal and reattach.

Laser Gum Therapy

This advanced treatment uses laser technology to precisely remove infected tissue and bacteria with minimal discomfort and faster healing.

Antibiotic Therapy

We may apply localized antibiotics to reduce bacterial infection and inflammation at the source.

Bone Grafting

If gum disease has led to bone loss, bone grafting helps rebuild the foundation that supports your teeth, improving stability and future treatment options.

Ongoing Maintenance

After initial treatment, more frequent dental cleanings help manage the condition and prevent future flare-ups.

We’ll walk you through every step and ensure you feel comfortable with your treatment plan.

Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?

Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?

Periodontal disease doesn’t always cause pain early on, which is why regular checkups are so important to detect it. You may need periodontal care if you:

  • Notice bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Have persistent bad breath
  • Feel like your gums are pulling away from your teeth
  • Are a smoker or have a family history of gum disease
  • Have been diagnosed with diabetes or other health conditions linked to gum health

Remember that if you get the right treatment on time, gum disease can be reversible.
