Dublin is a suburb in the East Bay in Alameda County. It’s located in the Armador Valley in the Tri-Valley region and has a population of around 70,000 residents. The city is known for its rapid growth, excellent school system, and many outdoor spaces. It’s also located conveniently near a few major highways and a BART station. Dublin is also just a short drive away from Bion’s Regional Park, Mount Diablo State Park, and Lake Tahoe. It’s also home to Emerald Glen Park, San Francisco Premium Outlets, and Dublin Heritage Park & Museums.
Periodontal disease, also called gum disease or periodontitis, includes the inflammation and infection of the gum tissues that support the teeth. It can occur for any number of reasons, including poor oral hygiene and hormonal changes, but some people are simply more prone to the condition than others. It occurs when plaque is allowed to build up on the teeth and harden.
Some of the symptoms of periodontal disease include reddish or purplish gums, bleeding gums, soreness, bad breath, pain, loose teeth, tooth loss, bone loss, and gum recession.
If you are struggling with periodontal disease, you are certainly not alone. Almost half of all adults in the United States have some form of gum disease.
Periodontal disease treatment is a good option for almost everyone struggling with gum disease. Patients dealing with red or purple gums, bleeding, gum recession, and other symptoms of periodontal disease are good candidates. If you are pregnant, a smoker, or have other medical conditions, seeking out periodontal disease treatment can be even more crucial.
At Dublin Corners Dental, we offer a few different treatment options for periodontal disease. The first step is usually a thorough dental cleaning. From there, scaling and root planing are usually the first treatment used for gum disease. During this process, your dentist will deep clean beneath your gums, removing plaque and bacteria where brushing and flossing can’t get to. This is the perfect treatment for mild gum disease.
For more severe periodontal disease, we offer soft tissue gum grafting and bone grafting. They use donor gum tissue or bone to replace what has been lost.
Don’t struggle another day with periodontal disease with the help of our team at Dublin Corners Dental. We’ll examine your gums and teeth and build a custom treatment plan to ensure you achieve optimal oral health. For more information, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation today.
