When gum disease is caught early, non-surgical treatments can effectively remove harmful bacteria and prevent further damage.
Our deep cleaning techniques, like scaling and root planing, thoroughly eliminate plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This aids in infection control and promotes better gum health.
Laser-assisted therapy enhances this process by targeting infected areas with precision, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing.
Combined with professional cleanings, these treatments help improve gum health and stop periodontal disease from advancing.
For more advanced cases, we offer antibacterial irrigation and topical antibiotics to eliminate infection and support gum tissue recovery.
These customized treatments work in conjunction with deep cleanings to eliminate bacteria and encourage tissue recovery. Our team personalizes each plan to ensure the most effective care for your oral health.

Gum disease treatment is designed to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and below your gumline. At Alpine Meadows Family Dental, we offer several types of gum disease treatment, including scaling and root planing, laser assisted therapy, topical antibiotics, and antibacterial rinses. Your dentist will help decide on the right type of treatment based on your needs.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating “pockets” where more bacteria accumulates. In the advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out.
You may not see the signs of gum disease on your own until its advanced stages, which is why it is often referred to as a silent killer. It’s also why your routine dental exams are so important. The earlier you spot periodontal infection, the easier it is to manage and, in many cases, reverse. Common symptoms to look for include red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, loose teeth, and persistent bad breath.
