Gum Disease Therapy

Restore Your Gum Health and Revitalize Your Smile

Your gums serve as the foundation for your entire smile, helping to hold your teeth firmly in place. Gum disease, also know as periodontal disease, is a serious condition that affects not only the gums, but can also have a negative impact to your overall health, including its linkage to other illnesses, ranging from coronary artery disease to diabetes.

Still & Reece Dentistry, serving patients throughout Barnwell, SC, and beyond, provides comprehensive gum care to protect and restore your oral and total body health. Catching gum issues early and providing proper treatment and ongoing care to keep your gums as healthy as possible is the key to managing early and more severe stages of gum disease.

What Causes Gum Disease?

  • Learn More

    In short, gum disease is caused by bacteria. Without regular brushing and flossing, this harmful bacteria clings to your teeth and builds up around your gum line. Over time, this bacteria turns into plaque and calculus (also called tartar), which can infect your gum tissue.

Gum Disease Therapy

  • Learn More

    Gum disease is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing care both at-home and at your regular dental appointments. Gum therapy, also called  deep cleaning or root scaling or planing, is performed at our office to remove the bacteria, plaque, and tartar from your teeth and below your gum line. Once cleaned, your gums can begin to heal and can be better maintained.
