Did you know that gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss? It's true! Gingivitis and the more serious periodontal disease can lead to other health complications, including heart disease and stroke. Some studies are even linking periodontitis to Alzheimer's disease. It's a serious issue that affects over 65 million adults in the United States alone, according to the American Dental Association.
Luckily, if caught early, gum disease is curable and treatable. That's why getting regular dental exams with a trustworthy dentist like Dr. Lindy Beverly of Orange Coast Cosmetic Dentistry - Long Beach is so important. If she discovers gum disease, she will recommend a deep cleaning to help your gums heal. Don't leave gum disease untreated and risk losing teeth - take care of your dental health!

If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, you should consider root planing and scaling as recommended treatment options. Tartar or calculus that has built up under your gum line can create a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Unfortunately, this hard substance is impossible to remove at home, so seeking professional help for deep cleaning is crucial.
If you are experiencing inflammation, your body's immune system will attempt to fight off the infection, which can result in pockets forming between your teeth and gums. Ignoring gum disease can worsen over time, eventually causing your teeth to loosen and potentially leading to bone loss. Ultimately, you may even lose one or more teeth. Acting early and taking care of your oral health is vital to avoid these consequences.
If you require a deep cleaning, the Orange Coast Cosmetic Dentistry - Long Beach team will determine if an anesthetic is necessary. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, Dr. Beverly may also decide to clean one quadrant or section of your mouth at a time. Once your mouth is ready, a special tool or laser will be used to remove tartar and plaque from your teeth, known as root scaling.
After the scaling, another instrument will be used for planing to prevent plaque and tartar from growing. Following the procedure, Dr. Beverly may prescribe an antibiotic or fill the pockets with medication that will be removed at your next dental appointment.

Love this place! Every staff member I interacted with has been very kind and welcoming. I was even greeted by name the first time I walked in. I just had my first crown done and I was very nervous but they did a great job at walking me through the process before and during the procedure which quickly helped me relax. I thought I would be in pain once the anesthesia wore off but aside from a bit of sensitivity I feel no pain! I am glad I’ve finally found my go to Dentist office here in LB.
