Save Your Smile With Periodontal Solutions

Gum health affects more than just your smile. Scientific studies have uncovered significant links between periodontal disease and systemic health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. At our East Lyme general dental practice, our team takes these connections seriously, offering advanced treatments designed to restore your gum health and protect your overall well-being.

When you visit us for gum disease treatment, your personalized care plan may include:

  • Scaling and Root Planing – A thorough deep cleaning performed under local anesthetic removes bacteria and creates a healthier environment for healing.
  • Arestin Antibiotic Therapy – A time-release medication is placed below the gumline to fight infection over several weeks.
  • Antimicrobial Irrigation – A gentle flushing technique removes bacteria from below the gumline for added protection.
  • Periodontal Maintenance – Regular follow-up visits every 3-4 months prevent reinfection and let us monitor healing.
  • Preventive Care Planning – You’ll get customized home care instructions and professional cleaning schedules to maintain results.

Our comprehensive approach helps eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation and bleeding, prevent bone loss, and protect your natural teeth. By addressing gum disease early, you may also lower your risk of related health issues.
