Gum and Periodontal Disease Treatments

The health of your gums plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. At Dental Center of Hammond, we offer effective gum treatments to address issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. Our dedicated team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific gum concerns, ensuring that you maintain excellent dental hygiene.


While gingivitis can be successfully reversed in its early stages through diligent oral hygiene practices and routine cleanings, it is important to note that periodontal disease has no cure. This condition can lead to troublesome symptoms such as receding gums, tooth loss, and jawbone deterioration. Our professional treatments are designed to mitigate the adverse effects of periodontal disease and slow down its progression.

Effective Treatment Options for Periodontal Disease


Our practice offers effective scaling and root planning treatments to meticulously eliminate harmful plaque and food debris from deep gum pockets. By carefully removing plaque below the gum line and smoothing out the tooth roots, we aim to enhance the protection of your oral health. For combating gingivitis and periodontal disease, we advocate a meticulous oral hygiene routine of brushing twice daily, daily flossing, and regular dental cleanings and exams every six months.
