Lake Minnetonka Family Dentistry can handle gum therapy for patients that are experiencing issues with periodontal disease. We specialize in gum treatments, as well as issues with the bone that supports the teeth. Periodontal disease begins with patients that have red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Periodontal disease is very important to treat, as it can be linked to other health risks such as stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and bacterial pneumonia. If periodontal disease has advanced, we provide a special treatment called scaling and root planning, which is a deep cleaning of the entire gums and other surfaces. We can treat periodontal disease and get your gums on the right track.
