WHAT IS PERIODONTAL DISEASE?
Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is one of the most common health problems on the planet – in fact, studies indicate that up to 80% of the population may be currently experiencing it, whether they’re aware of it or not. Gum disease is defined as a bacterial oral infection, and while it may seem relatively mild in the beginning, untreated cases can lead to destructive consequences, including bone deterioration and tooth loss. Research has shown that it may even negatively contribute to whole-body disorders like heart disease and diabetes. At Flawless Smile Dentistry, our doctors takes this threat very seriously, and they and the rest of our team will work with you to diagnose and treat your condition as early on as possible. Contact our Claremore office to schedule an appointment today!
DO I HAVE GUM DISEASE?
- Oral bleeding that occurs while brushing and flossing
- Gum tissue that’s excessively red, swollen, or tender to the touch
- Excessive bad breath that isn’t alleviated with oral hygiene/mouthwash use
- Teeth that appear gradually longer over time (a sign of gum recession)
GUM DISEASE TREATMENT OPTIONS
Once our doctors has successfully identified the presence of gum disease, our recommendation for treatment will depend on the severity of your condition. In early cases, more frequent hygiene appointments may be all that’s necessary to help reverse any mild irritation and damage. Once the condition has progressed, scaling and root planing is an in-depth cleaning that can help patients avoid the need for surgical intervention; the process involves cleaning away bacteria from under the gum line and the rough tooth root surfaces. Alternatively, state-of-the-art soft tissue treatment can eliminate diseased tissue precisely and comfortably; most patients don’t even require sutures afterwards.

Each visit with Flawless Smile is so pleasant. The front office staffers all greet me with a friendly “Hello” and smile. I have never waited more than 5 or 10 minutes to get taken back to the dental area by another smiling staff member. I am a different person because of my treatment at Flawless Smile. Different meaning I’m no longer depressed because I don’t have to hide my smile every minute of the day. It’s amazing how being able to smile changes every aspect of my life.

I have dentures that are screwed in and I was having to go to either Kansas City or Oklahoma City from Tulsa to get them worked on fallstona was able to put these in and keep them clean for me and it's a lot closer than a two or four hour drive. Everyone I've met at the staff and the doctor is great I would recommend this especially if you're looking for dentures.

I really felt that all employees/staff were more than good to me. Made me feel like family almost and really seemed to care. They definitely wanted me to get the best service possible and I'm excited to go back again. My next appointment will be getting 7 teeth pulled and instead of feeling nervous as I usually do, I feel completely ready to get it done and have total faith in the dentist there to do good work. I know I'm in good hands!

So we found this dentistry and thought we check it out. The staff are very nice, they give you a tour and informative of the dentists and the services they provide. My daughter felt comfortable and noticed the differences from our past dentist. So if she’s all in, I’m going to use the services as well. They were able to get me an initial assessment immediately following my daughters cleaning. I would recommend this dentistry to anyone who is searching for a more detailed and skilled dentistry!
