Hampton Dental Your Partner in Restoring Gum Health with Advanced Periodontics in Dallas, TX

At Hampton Dental, we understand the importance of healthy gums for a beautiful smile and overall well-being. Periodontitis, the most severe form of gum disease, can significantly impact your oral health. While incurable, early diagnosis and proper treatment can control its progression and prevent tooth loss.

Our team of experienced dentists in Dallas, TX, offers comprehensive periodontal therapy to combat periodontitis and restore your gum health. We utilize advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans to achieve optimal results.

Periodontitis often starts as gingivitis, a mild gum infection causing inflammation, redness, and occasional bleeding. Effective brushing and flossing can reverse gingivitis at this stage. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can worsen, leading to the following symptoms of periodontitis:

• Persistent bleeding and inflamed gums
• Receding gum line, exposing tooth roots
• Deepening gum pockets harboring bacteria and food debris
• Pus discharge from infected gums
• Jawbone deterioration, weakening tooth support
• Increased risk of root canal infections
• Loose teeth and potential tooth loss

The primary culprit behind periodontitis is plaque, a sticky film harboring harmful bacteria. When plaque hardens into tartar due to inadequate brushing and flossing, it releases toxins that irritate and erode gums. In some cases, gum disease may also develop due to external factors like injuries.

At Hampton Dental, we offer a range of periodontal treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our treatments focus on removing plaque and tartar, eliminating infected tissues, promoting gum tissue regeneration, and managing gum disease progression. Here’s a closer look at some of our advanced techniques:

• Scaling and Root Planing: This non-surgical procedure uses ultrasonic vibrations to remove plaque and tartar buildup from teeth and root surfaces. This effectively cleans the teeth below the gum line, promoting gum healing.
• Infected Tissue Removal with Laser Technology: We offer minimally invasive laser therapy to remove infected gum tissues with precision. Lasers eliminate the need for scalpels and sutures, minimizing bleeding and discomfort while promoting faster healing.
• Gum Grafting: When gum recession exposes tooth roots, we can perform gum grafting procedures. We use healthy tissue from another area of your mouth (often the palate) and transplant it to the affected area, restoring lost gum tissue and protecting the teeth.
• Antibiotic Medication: In some cases, powerful antibiotics like Arestin may be prescribed to combat bacterial infection and promote gum healing. These medications can be administered orally or applied directly under the gums.
