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
