Periodontal Treatment in Long Valley, NJ

Periodontics Long Valley, NJ

Periodontal disease, commonly referred to as gum disease, affects millions of Americans every year. It’s an infection of the gums caused by bacteria produced by plaque. Over time, plaque hardens into a sticky substance called tartar that’s hard to remove from the surface of teeth. As the tartar builds, it promotes bacteria that spread to the gums that can cause significant decay and tooth loss if left untreated. A professional dentist like Dr. Rogler can easily reverse the symptoms of gum disease if treated promptly. However, if ignored for too long, the severity of the infection and its effects can become much more serious.

Signs of Gum Disease

The signs of periodontal disease aren’t always obvious or painful. Knowing what to look for and detecting the infection early gives you the best chance of reversing the effects and preventing further decay. The signs and symptoms to look for include: 

  • Red or swollen gums

  • Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing

  • Teeth shifting positions

  • Receding gum line

  • Spaces or gaps between teeth

  • Bad breath (halitosis)

Stages of Periodontal Disease

As the tartar on your teeth accumulates, the bacteria it produces will cause your gums to recede, creating small pockets between your teeth and gums for bacteria to infiltrate. Our expert team will use the depths of these pockets and other indicators to determine the stage of your infection:

  1. Gingivitis– This is the earliest stage of gum disease and the only stage whose effects are reversible. Your gums will be swollen, tender, and prone to bleeding.

  2. Periodontitis– Tartar will begin to harden, and the infection will cause the gums to recede from the teeth. A professional procedure will be required to treat this stage.

  3. Advanced Periodontitis– When gum disease is ignored, it causes severe decay and deterioration of the gums and bone, leading to rot and tooth loss. Extensive dental procedures will be required to restore your gums and smile.

 

Periodontal Treatments


For patients in the Long Valley area suffering from moderately progressed gum disease, we offer scaling and root planing at Rogler Family Dentistry. This procedure allows our expert team to clean out the pockets between the gums and teeth, removing plaque and tartar build-up. We also provide deep cleanings for patients with more mild cases.

We’ll sanitize and clean the affected areas, smoothing out the tooth roots to stop bacteria from reinfecting the site in the future. This treatment is most effective when paired with a diligent at-home oral hygiene routine.

A gum or bone graft procedure may be required if your gums have entered the advanced periodontitis stage. For a gum graft, our team will use tissue from the roof of your mouth or another area and graft it to the gum tissue to promote regeneration. If your infection is severe, a bone graft may also be required to restore your tooth’s strength. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I keep my gums healthy?

You can prevent periodontitis by maintaining a good oral hygiene routine, which will work to remove bacteria and sugar from your teeth and gums before they can turn into plaque. This includes brushing your teeth after meals, flossing daily, and rinsing your mouth with an antiseptic mouthwash.

Additionally, we recommend having your teeth cleaned by our professional team at least twice a year so that we can remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach places.

Who is at risk for gum disease?

Certain factors increase your risk for gum disease, including:

  • Smoking and tobacco usage

  • Diabetes

  • Stress

  • Medication that dries the mouth

  • Genetic history of gum disease

  • Nutritional deficiencies like vitamin C
