Periodontal Surgery

We’re pleased to offer gentle and customized periodontal disease treatment, including laser surgery in Cookeville, TN.

You may have heard stories about periodontal disease and how it impacts whole body wellness and leads to tooth loss. You may even suspect you have the condition but are anxious about seeking treatment, feeling embarrassed or afraid.

Our compassionate team is here to provide the care you need in a judgment-free environment.

So, if you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease, often referred to as gum disease, or notice symptoms, such as bleeding gums, recurring bad breath, or gum recession, Hall Dental Group can help.

Our approach meets you where you are in your disease and provides compassionate care to see you through.

Treatments may include, but are not limited to:

  • Deep Cleanings (Scaling and Planing): This helps clear infection below the gumline and minimize or reverse gum pocketing.
  • Custom Care Routine: Your dentist prescribes an at-home oral care plan to improve gum health.
  • Topical Antibiotics:  This topical therapy helps reduce infection and inflammation.
  • Solea CO2 Laser Surgery: Laser surgery represents a modern, gentle, and robust treatment approach.

Common Causes of Gum Disease in Cookeville

Gum disease has several risk factors. Below, we share the most common causes of gingivitis and advanced periodontitis.

Lack of Dental Care

Dental care, especially twice-yearly teeth cleanings, can significantly reduce your gum disease risk.

Poor Oral Hygeine

To reduce gum disease risks, brush and floss your teeth at least twice daily or after every meal.

Tobacco Use

Tobacco increases your risks for many diseases, including but not limited to periodontal disease.

Hormone Changes

Hormonal changes, as seen in pregnancy, can elevate your risk of developing periodontal disease.

Family History

Yes, genetics can play a role in your gum disease risk, but healthy habits can mitigate the odds.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Hall Dental Group, we recognize that visiting the dentist can cause fear or anxiety for some patients. That's why we offer options for sedation dentistry in Cookeville, TN. 

Nitrous oxide is a low level of sedation delivered as a breathable gas through an inhalation mask worn during a dental procedure. 

Oral sedation uses medication taken one hour before your procedure to help you relax. This is a deeper level of sedation.

Understanding Oral Sedation

Patients who are undergoing multiple complex treatment procedures, have special needs, or have severe dental anxiety may benefit from choosing oral sedation. 

The medication helps you feel deeply relaxed, almost as if you were sleeping, yet you remain responsive. The amnesic effects of the medication ensure that you have little to no memory of the procedure.

Patients using oral sedation will need to have transportation arranged to and from their dental appointment. They should also plan to take the remainder of the day off after their procedure, as the medication takes time to wear off.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is a series of infections and inflammation that penetrate the gum tissue and eventually the periodontal ligaments and bones that support your teeth.

The condition starts as gingivitis, which is reversible, but without treatment, it can advance to periodontitis, which is merely treatable.

However, treatment is vital to help prevent the associated complications, such as:

  • Tooth Loss
  • Heart Issues
  • Lung Issues
  • Pregnancy Complications

Studies now link gum disease to specific conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Signs of Periodontal Disease

Signs of periodontal disease include:

  • Bleeding Gums
  • Loose Teeth
  • Gum Recession
  • Recurring Bad Breath
  • Gum Redness/Irritation

Remember, gum disease can be subtle early on, which is why regular checkups and teeth cleanings in Cookeville are so vital.
