Put a Stop to Gum Infections With Thorough Care

We offer gentle, effective, and non-surgical solutions to restore your gum health.
Treatment may include scaling and root planing. Our team removes plaque and tartar buildup around and under your gumline (scaling). Then, they will smooth your tooth roots to help prevent bacteria from returning (root planing).
If needed, after your deep cleaning, we may use antibacterial rinses or irrigation. These treatments can help eliminate harmful bacteria and prevent future infections.
When necessary, we will use a laser to precisely target and remove infected tissue. The laser also promotes healing as it works.

Like many health issues, gum problems often start silently. You might not spot the early warning signs on your own.
That’s why we recommend regular checkups. Your dentist can monitor any changes to your gum health. You can stop an infection before it harms your smile.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, watch for signs like tender gums, persistent bad breath, or swollen gum tissue. Whether your symptoms are minor or more advanced, early treatment can make all the difference.
With our support, you can protect your gums and enjoy a healthier, confident smile.
Call 575-332-5352 for gum disease treatment in Santa Teresa. You can also schedule online.

Read MoreCommon Questions About Gum Disease Treatment
Our modern treatment approaches prioritize your comfort throughout the process. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during deep cleaning procedures. We use local anesthesia to ensure you feel relaxed and at ease during treatment. Our gentle techniques and advanced technology help minimize any post-treatment sensitivity.
While treatment eliminates current infection, gum disease can recur without proper home care. Your daily brushing and flossing routine plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy gums. We’ll teach you effective techniques to protect your gum health at home. Regular professional cleanings help prevent reinfection and maintain your results.
Pain isn’t always a reliable indicator of gum disease severity. Silent damage can occur beneath your gumline without causing discomfort. Early treatment prevents the infection from reaching deeper tissue layers. Waiting for pain often means the disease has significantly progressed.
