Protecting the Foundation of Your Smile
Your gums play a vital role in keeping your teeth healthy and secure. At Loves Park Family Dental and Orthodontics, we offer comprehensive periodontal care to treat and prevent gum disease—an infection that affects the tissues surrounding your teeth. Whether you need a routine deep cleaning or treatment for advanced gum disease, our team is here to help you restore and maintain a healthy foundation for your smile.
Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?
Gum disease can affect anyone, but it’s especially common in adults over 30 and those with a history of poor oral hygiene, smoking, or chronic health conditions like diabetes. You may need periodontal treatment if you notice red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth. If you’re in the Loves Park, IL area and have any of these signs, we’ll evaluate your condition and build a personalized care plan to get your gums back on track.
Why Healthy Gums Matter More Than You Think
Here’s how periodontal care benefits your oral and overall health:
-

Gum health is the key to a lasting smile. If you’re experiencing any signs of gum trouble, our Loves Park dental team is ready to provide the gentle, expert care you deserve.
