Painful gum disease


Gum disease can be terrible. A gradual weakening of our gums can lead to tooth loss; forcing us to alter our diet and meaning that we lose our award winning smile. It is therefore vitally important that treatment for gum disease is sought as soon as it is identified. Treatments for gum disease at OcciDental of Brooklyn can range from medication to surgical. The more advanced the condition, the more likely that surgical treatments will be necessary. 

These surgical treatments  that OcciDental of Brooklyn offers are designed to repair the damaged and unhealthy tissue around your teeth so as to make them more stable and prevent tooth loss. This can include regenerative procedures, where the bacteria causing the damage is removed, with the remaining tissue then repairing the damage, or even a gum graft surgical treatment, where gum tissue from your palate is placed over the roots of your teeth that have become exposed due to the weakened gums. OcciDental  of Brooklyn will ensure that you receive the best conservative gum treatment so that you do not suffer as a result of your damaged gums.
