Effective Periodontal Treatment

Get Progressive Periodontal Treatment From Our Dental Team

At Minnesota Lakes Dental PLLC, we're dedicated to improving your oral health and quality of life. It's important to recognize the signs of early stages of periodontal disease, which is gingivitis. The symptoms of gingivitis typically include red, swollen and bleeding gums. This can lead to periodontal disease.

Other factors that contribute to periodontal disease include smoking, genetic tendencies, and unchecked diabetes. If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in significant tissue damage and eventual tooth loss.

If periodontal disease progresses to an advanced stage, there is clinical and radiographic evidence of damage to the bone and soft tissues supporting the teeth.

Our periodontal treatment is designed to halt the progression of the disease and restore tooth support. Treatment includes medications to control the bacteria and reduce the size of the pockets between the teeth and gums, gum surgery, as well as bone and tissue grafts.
