Protect Your Smile with Effective Gum Disease Treatment
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a silent but serious condition affecting your gums and teeth. It generally begins with plaque buildup along the gumline, leading to redness, swelling, and gum infection.
Without timely gingivitis treatment, gum disease can progress and damage the ligaments and bones that hold your teeth in place, leading to tooth loss. Fighting gum disease can feel like a losing battle. However, our experienced team at HAR Dental Group proudly offers timely diagnosis and gum disease treatment in Tulia, Slaton, and Plainview, TX, to restore oral health and protect your smile.
The Warning Signs of Gum Disease
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding while brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Gum recession or teeth appearing longer than usual
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain when chewing or sensitive teeth

Gum Disease Treatments Designed to Protect Your Smile
Sometimes called “deep cleaning,” scaling and root planning is a vital first step in arresting and reversing periodontitis. This specialized dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar above and below the gum line, targeting the source of inflammation and gum infections.
By smoothing the tooth roots, we provide a healthy surface for a secure attachment between the gums and the teeth, reversing inflammation and stabilizing your oral health.
Gum recession is a condition in which the gum line moves away from its healthy position, revealing the tooth roots. This can cause significant sensitivity and further compromise the strength of the attachment that holds teeth in place.
A gum graft restores lost gum tissue and protects exposed tooth roots, improving your gum health and enhancing the appearance of your smile .
If you’re experiencing inflammation or infection around dental implants, peri-implantitis treatment can save them and restore your oral health. We’ll carefully clean the affected area and develop a plan to keep your gums healthy. Dental implants are a significant investment in your well-being, and timely peri-implantitis treatment can help them last as long as possible.
