Combat Gum Disease and Jaw Pain in Kingston, PA
Zielinski Family Dentistry Provides Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal therapy is one way to restore gum health. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, affects gum tissue and, in some cases, the supporting bone, which can result in losing teeth. Common signs of gum disease include red and swollen gums, receding gums, sores, bad breath, and bleeding while brushing your teeth or flossing.
If you show signs of gum disease, or have any concerns of receding gum line, call Zielinski Family Dentistry at (570) 822-7312 today. We proudly serve Kingston, PA; Plains, PA; Wilkes-Barre, PA; and the surrounding areas.
Pinhole® Surgical Technique for Receding Gums in Kingston, PA
Zielinski Family Dentistry offers the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique to patients in Kingston, PA, and the surrounding areas. The Chao Pinhole technique consists of making a small hole in the gums to move gum tissue over the receded area. This technique requires no grafting or cutting, and has a relatively short recovery time. Dr. Zielinski of Zielinski Family Dentistry is certified to perform the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique. Talk to our staff today to see if this is right for you.
Scaling and Root Planing at Zielinski Family Dentistry
Scaling and root planing helps to treat gum disease by removing plaque and bacteria from the tooth and root, and then smoothing the root. The smoothing process makes it difficult for anything to clinging to the root, allowing gums to heal and reattach. Those suffering from gum disease should have regular cleanings and maintenance to ensure their gums are healthy and clean. Contact Zielinski Family Dentistry for an appointment in Plains, PA, today.
