Gum Disease

Protecting More Than Just Your Smile

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile and a healthy body. At Kraner Family Dentistry, we take gum disease (periodontal disease) seriously because it doesn’t just affect your mouth! It’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.

That’s why our experienced team offers advanced, personalized treatment for gum disease right here in our office.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It begins with gingivitis (red, swollen, bleeding gums) and can progress to periodontitis, where bone and tissue are destroyed, leading to tooth loss if left untreated.

Many people don’t realize they have it. That’s why regular checkups are so important.

Common Signs of Gum Disease:

Our Treatment Options Include:

  • Deep Cleanings (Scaling & Root Planing) – Remove plaque and bacteria below the gumline to promote healing.
  • Periodontal Maintenance – More frequent cleanings and exams to keep your gums healthy and prevent recurrence.
  • Patient Education – Personalized guidance to improve home care and protect your long-term oral health.
