Our expert team uses the latest technology and techniques to provide effective, comfortable care. Prevention starts with Erdenheim gum disease treatment at Chesheim Dental Associates.

Are your gums putting your smile and health at risk?

We all know that gum disease can lead to tooth loss. But it may surprise you to learn that the bacteria associated with gum disease can cause far more serious conditions you may never have associated with your oral health, including:

  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Certain cancers, including pancreatic cancer
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Complications controlling blood sugar levels in diabetes
  • Low birth weight babies
  • Premature birth

Research continues to show the strong connection between oral health and overall wellness. When left untreated, gum disease allows harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream, increasing inflammation throughout the body and contributing to these serious health conditions. That’s why regular dental checkups and Erdenheim gum disease treatment are essential—not just for protecting your teeth, but for safeguarding your entire body.

Looking for the best care for your gums?

For superior dental care, Chesheim Dental Associates has a periodontist on staff who specializes in diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease. Our periodontist provides expert Erdenheim gum disease treatment for all stages of periodontal disease, from early gingivitis to advanced gum infections.

With specialized training in gum health and dental implants, they help restore and maintain strong, healthy smiles. Whether you need deep cleanings, grafting, or surgical treatment, you’re in the best hands.

Want to protect your smile?

With all the serious health risks associated with periodontal disease, Chesheim Dental Associates offers advanced Erdenheim gum disease treatment to treat and even reverse the disease.

Our personalized approach to Erdenheim gum disease treatment ensures that each patient receives the care best suited to their needs, whether through deep cleanings, antibiotic therapy, or surgical intervention when necessary. By addressing periodontal disease early, we can help protect not only your smile but also your overall health, reducing risks linked to heart disease and diabetes.

Need a more comfortable gum disease treatment?

We use the Cavitron ultrasonic scaler in the treatment of periodontal disease. This state-of-the-art tool uses high-frequency ultrasonic waves to clear away any pockets of bacteria below the gum line. It makes Erdenheim gum disease treatment more effective, more comfortable, and more thorough than ever before.

The Cavitron also helps minimize discomfort by reducing the need for manual scraping, making the experience gentler for patients with sensitive gums. Its precision allows us to target bacteria while preserving healthy tissue, promoting faster healing. By incorporating advanced technology into our Erdenheim gum disease treatment, we ensure the best possible care for your gums.

Struggling with gum disease?

Following treatment with the Cavitron, we will place Arestin—a powerful antibiotic targeted specifically at periodontal bacteria—under the gum line to continue to kill bacteria over time. This localized antibiotic therapy helps reduce pocket depth and supports the healing process, working alongside your regular dental care to keep your gums healthy.

Arestin releases medication gradually, targeting infection at the source to prevent bacteria from spreading. This extra step enhances your Erdenheim gum disease treatment, promoting long-term oral health and stability.
