Protect Your Good Oral Health with Gum Disease Therapy in Juno Beach, FL
March 16, 2015
Statistics show that most Americans will suffer from some form of gum disease in their adult life. Gum disease is a pathological inflammatory condition of the gum and bone that support and surround your teeth. Since the disease can often progress without symptoms, it’s extremely important to maintain regular dental checkup and cleaning appointments to screen for gum related problems. Don’t let gum disease wreak havoc on your good dental health. Schedule a gum disease therapy appointment with Juno Beach Smiles today. Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley are highly qualified general dentists, now proudly restoring smiles daily throughout: Juno Beach, FL, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, North Palm Beach, and the surrounding communities.
How Does Gum Disease Develop?
- Gingivitis: The first stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. Gingivitis is characterized by redness, swelling and bleeding of the gums after brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of harmful bacteria and plaque around the gum line. Although gingivitis is a degenerative process, it can be reversed by more effective personal oral hygiene practices and regularly attended professional dental cleanings.
- Periodontitis: When gingivitis is left untreated, it turns into periodontitis. This advancement can occur rather rapidly. With periodontitis, deep pockets or spaces form between the teeth and gums. This can cause chronic gum tissue destruction and the eventual loosening and loss of natural teeth.
Gum Disease Treatment in Juno Beach, FL
To treat gum disease, we will first attack the root cause of the problem, the plaque on your teeth and gums. We will clean in and around the affected areas, and disinfect the areas where harmful bacteria can accumulate. This deep-cleaning process is called root planning and scaling. We will also look for other causes of plaque, like loose fillings or worn out dental crowns. If your gum disease has advanced past the point of this treatment being effective we may recommend more advance techniques including laser gum recontouring or flap surgery.

How Our Dentists Use Laser Dentistry
April 23, 2014
Since their introduction to the medical field, lasers have changed the way doctors and dentists offer care. With lasers, medical care is more comfortable and less invasive. What’s more, lasers give doctors more control over the entire process. As a result, results are more precise, appointments are shorter, and patients recover much quicker.
But how exactly are dentists like Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley using dental lasers?
One common use for dental lasers is gum disease therapy. In the past, advanced gum disease therapy required a scalpel and stitches. Today, a dental laser can comfortably remove bacteria below the gumline without the need for stitches at all.
Gum re-contouring is also done with a dental laser. With gum re-contouring, Dr. Keuning and Dr. Riley can quickly and easily remove excess gum tissue from teeth, creating fuller, shapelier smiles.
Other uses for dental lasers include:
- Cavity detection and treatment
- Curing bonding materials
- Biopsies
- Some forms of teeth whitening
Do you want to know more about how dental lasers are changing today’s dental care? Call Juno Beach Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry for an appointment with Dr. Keuning or Dr. Riley. They would be happy to answer your questions. We serve patients from Juno Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Tequesta, Jupiter, and nearby communities.
