Gum and Periodontal Disease Treatments

Your gums are important to your oral health. If you have gingivitis or periodontal disease, Michigan City Family Dentistry can help you with our effective gum treatments. We provide you with a treatment plan to address your gum issues and maintain good dental hygiene.


Gingivitis can be reversed in its early stages with good oral hygiene practices and regular cleanings, but there is no cure for periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can cause receding gums, tooth loss, and jawbone deterioration. Our treatments can slow these damaging effects.

Effective Treatment Options for Periodontal Disease

Our scaling and root planing treatments effectively eliminate harmful plaque and food particles that accumulate in deep gum pockets. By removing plaque below the gum line, we can also ensure that the tooth roots are smoothed out, providing enhanced protection.



To combat gingivitis and periodontal disease, we highly recommend following a daily oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental cleanings and exams every six months.
