Periodontal Treatment (Gum Care)
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults — but it's almost entirely preventable, and very treatable when caught early. At Allard Station Dental, we look beyond your teeth at every visit. We measure gum-pocket depth, check for bleeding, and watch for the early signs of gingivitis and periodontitis.
Treatment is tailored to where your gums are today. Mild cases respond beautifully to a deep cleaning; more advanced cases may need scaling and root planing, antibacterial therapy, or periodontal maintenance every three months. Whatever stage you're at, our goal is the same: stop the disease and protect the bone that holds your teeth in place.
- Gum-pocket measurement at every checkup
- Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) for active disease
- Three-month periodontal maintenance program
- Localized antibacterial therapy when needed
Halitosis (Bad Breath Care)
Persistent bad breath is rarely about what you ate at lunch — it's almost always a sign that bacteria are thriving somewhere they shouldn't. The most common culprits are plaque buildup along the gumline, food trapped between teeth, dry mouth, or untreated tooth decay.
Our halitosis assessment finds the source rather than just masking it. We look for cavities, hidden gum infection, tongue coating, and salivary issues — and then build a simple at-home routine plus in-office treatment to make fresh breath your new normal.
