At Rim Point Dental, we provide expert periodontal care to treat and prevent gum disease, ensuring the health and beauty of your smile. Gum disease develops when bacteria accumulate in your mouth, leading to plaque buildup around the edges of your teeth. If left untreated, this condition can result in tooth loss and other serious dental issues.
Common Signs of Gum Disease
- Red, swollen gums
- Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- Pockets of pus between teeth and gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Sores inside the mouth
- Hardened plaque that can’t be removed by brushing alone
- Loose or weakened teeth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to schedule an oral exam with Rim Point Dental. During your visit, Dr. Bagley will assess the severity of your gum disease and recommend the most appropriate periodontal treatments.
Periodontal Care Treatments
- Deep cleaning
- Scaling and root planing
- Antibiotic therapy
- Gingivectomy

- Other specialized procedures
To protect yourself from developing gum disease, it’s important to maintain a diligent oral hygiene routine. Brush your teeth in a circular motion, particularly at the gum line, twice a day, and floss daily to remove plaque and tartar after meals.
