Catch Gum Disease Early

Early detection of gum disease makes all the difference in treatment success. That's why we emphasize regular dental checkups to identify concerns in advance.

If you've noticed bleeding while brushing, ongoing bad breath, or red, puffy gums, it's time to make an appointment. Your dentist will offer comprehensive non-surgical solutions to restore your gum health.

Treatment typically begins with a deep cleaning procedure called scaling and root planing.

During this process, we carefully remove harmful buildup from both above and below your gumline. Then, we'll smooth your tooth roots to help prevent future infections.

Prioritize Ongoing Care

Following your deep cleaning, we'll enhance your treatment with additional care like antibacterial treatments. They target infection at its source to eliminate harmful bacteria and support healthy tissue regeneration.

For optimal results, your dentist may recommend laser therapy. This technology allows us to gently remove infected tissue while leaving healthy gums untouched. It also promotes faster healing with minimal discomfort.

You will appreciate how our modern approach combines effective care with a focus on comfort. You can maintain healthy gums with confidence. Schedule your visit for non-surgical gum disease treatment in Lancaster.

Mario M.

I'm so grateful I found Dr. Rashi Majithia. Over the past 10 months, she has completely changed my outlook on dental care. Dr. Majithia is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but she also has a gentle and caring approach that immediately put me at ease. I highly recommend Dr. Majithia...

Marissa W.

As a new patient, they were still VERY accommodating with my schedule and able to get me in for a cleaning and evaluate some discomfort I was having. They were extremely kind and went out of their way to make sure I understood all my insurance and options so their was no surprises before coming in for my appointment. Dr. Rashi was excellent and the first appointment was really thorough. She clearly has a lot of patients but it was obvious the health and well being of each individual patient is a priority.

The Invisalign process was definitely a journey. It took a while to get used to the new extra steps like flossing and brushing my teeth after every meal, but it was well worth it. I'm happy. Invisalign was the right choice for me.

Kaishla R.

I've been going to Dr. Rashi for years now. She's so kind, polite, & professional. The staff is very nice & the office's very clean. I made sure to request no fluoride for my daughters since I don't like the use of fluoride for my kids. I recommend this place : )

She always gives what I believe are the best recommendations on keeping up with my dental care. Ms. Yvette and the staff must all be cut from the same cloth. As I never see a person in the office with anything other than a welcoming face. It always feels great to be greeted by first name as you enter a building. Thank you 😃

What are the early warning signs of gum disease?

The first signs of gum disease often include bleeding when brushing or flossing, even if it's just a small amount that you notice on your toothbrush or floss. Your gums might also look puffy, red, or feel tender when touched, rather than being firm and pink like healthy gums. Bad breath that persists even after brushing could indicate bacterial buildup below your gum line. Some patients notice their gums starting to pull away from their teeth, making their teeth appear longer than before. It's important to have these symptoms checked early, as they're much easier to treat in the beginning stages.

What's the difference between normal gum sensitivity and signs of gum disease?

While temporary gum sensitivity can occur from aggressive brushing or eating acidic foods, persistent symptoms typically indicate gum disease. Healthy gums should be firm, pink, and shouldn't bleed during normal brushing and flossing. If your gums regularly bleed, feel spongy, or appear swollen for more than a couple of weeks, these are likely signs of gum disease rather than normal sensitivity. You might also notice that food gets trapped between your teeth more often or that you have a persistent unpleasant taste in your mouth. Our dental team can help determine whether your symptoms are normal variation or signs of disease.

What lifestyle changes can help improve my gum health?

Beyond regular brushing and flossing, several lifestyle changes can significantly impact your gum health. Quitting smoking or tobacco use can greatly improve your body's ability to fight gum infection and heal. Managing stress, maintaining good nutrition, and controlling blood sugar if you have diabetes all play important roles in gum health. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain adequate saliva flow, which naturally helps fight bacteria. We can provide guidance on additional changes that might benefit your specific situation.
