Healthy Gums, Healthier You: Periodontal Care at Le Dental Care

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive infection of the gums that can lead to bleeding, inflammation, bad breath, and even tooth loss if left untreated.  At Le Dental Care, our experienced team specializes in detecting and treating gum disease early—before it causes lasting damage.


We provide comprehensive periodontal care to patients in Elk Grove and Stockton, using advanced technology and personalized treatment plans to restore gum health and protect your teeth’s foundation.


Common Signs of Gum Disease:

  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding when brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
  • Gum recession (teeth appearing longer)
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain while chewing
  • Visible buildup of tartar or plaque near the gumline

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Gum disease is highly treatable, especially when caught early. Our team will perform a comprehensive periodontal evaluation, including measuring gum pocket depths and reviewing X-rays, to determine the best course of treatment.


Gum Disease Treatments Offered at Le Dental Care:

Deep Cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing) – Removes plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline


Antibacterial Therapy – Targets harmful bacteria causing infection


Maintenance Cleanings  – Regular visits to manage and prevent gum disease progression


Gum Surgery or Referrals – For advanced cases requiring surgical intervention


Patient Education – Custom guidance for at-home oral hygiene and gum care


We use modern, minimally invasive techniques to treat periodontal issues while keeping you comfortable throughout the process. Whether you’re dealing with early-stage gingivitis or more advanced periodontitis, we’ll help you regain control of your oral health.

Frequently asked questions 


  • What dental services do you offer at Le Dental Care?

    The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. However, orthodontic treatment is available for all ages, including teens and adults.

  • Do you see children and families at Le Dental Care?

    Signs that you or your child may need braces include crowded or misaligned teeth, difficulty chewing, an overbite or underbite, thumb-sucking habits, or jaw pain. A consultation with an orthodontist can determine the best treatment option.

  • What makes Le Dental Care different from other dental offices?

    We offer several orthodontic options, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners. Your orthodontist will recommend the best option based on your specific needs and lifestyle.

  • What insurance plans do you accept?

    We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans. Our team will help verify your benefits and make the process smooth. We also offer 0% financing through CareCredit for qualified patients.

  • Do you offer emergency dental services?

    Braces may cause mild discomfort, especially after adjustments, but this typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate soreness.

  • Are Lumineers® better than traditional veneers?

    You will need to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that can damage your braces, such as popcorn, gum, and caramel. Soft foods like yogurt, pasta, and mashed potatoes are great options, especially after adjustments.

  • How do I know if I need a dental implant or bridge?

    If you're missing one or more teeth, our team can help you decide whether a dental implant, bridge, or denture is best for your health, function, and budget. Implants are often preferred for their durability and natural feel.

  • What’s the difference between Invisalign® and Fastbraces®?

    If a bracket or wire becomes loose or breaks, contact your orthodontist as soon as possible. In the meantime, orthodontic wax can help prevent irritation from a poking wire.

  • Do you offer sedation for nervous patients?

    Yes! If you play contact sports, wearing a mouthguard is highly recommended to protect your braces and teeth. For musicians, there may be a short adjustment period, but you will still be able to play wind or brass instruments.

  • Where are you located and how do I book an appointment?
