Gum Disease Treatment in Pembroke Pines, FL

Comprehensive Periodontal Care in Pembroke Pines

Gum disease affects nearly half of American adults over 30, and it’s one of the most common conditions we treat at Dental Care Group in Pembroke Pines. Left untreated, gum disease leads to tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Our team at 12634 Pines Blvd provides thorough diagnosis and treatment at every stage, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.

Signs of Gum Disease

Watch for bleeding gums when brushing, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and bite changes. Many patients have no pain in early stages—regular exams at our Pembroke Pines office catch it early.

Treatment Options

• Professional Cleaning — Reverses gingivitis when combined with better home care.
• Scaling and Root Planing — Deep cleaning below the gumline for moderate disease.
• Periodontal Maintenance — Every 3-4 months to prevent recurrence.
• Antibiotic Therapy — Targeted treatment for bacterial infection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Disease in Pembroke Pines

What are the first signs of gum disease?

Bleeding during brushing or flossing is typically the first sign. Healthy gums don’t bleed. Other early signs include redness, swelling, and bad breath. Our Pembroke Pines team screens at every exam.

Can gum disease be reversed?

Gingivitis (early stage) is fully reversible with professional treatment. Periodontitis (advanced) can be managed and controlled but not completely reversed—making early detection critical.

Is gum disease linked to other health problems?

Yes—strong research links exist between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Periodontal care at our Pembroke Pines office is about protecting overall health, not just teeth.

How much does gum disease treatment cost in Pembroke Pines?

Costs vary by severity. Deep cleanings are typically covered by dental insurance as medically necessary. Our team provides transparent pricing before treatment begins.

How often do I need periodontal cleanings?

Patients with gum disease history typically need cleanings every 3-4 months at our Pembroke Pines office, rather than the standard 6-month interval.

Does the Pembroke Pines office treat advanced gum disease?

Yes—we treat all stages. For severe cases requiring surgery, we coordinate with periodontal specialists while providing your ongoing care at our Pines Blvd office.
