What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease refers to a condition caused by the build-up of bacteria and inflammation of the gum line. Gum disease is most commonly caused by poor oral care routines, skipping dental appointments, genetics, advanced age, or chronic illness.
If your gum disease is left untreated, you could be at a higher risk for developing additional health concerns including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
What are the Symptoms Of Gum Disease?
Gum disease is not always obvious in its earliest phases, which is why it's so important to attend regular dental checkups at Pacific Coast Dentistry. If you have one or more of the following symptoms, it's time to schedule a periodontal exam with Dr. Springe:
- Tooth, mouth, or gum pain
- Receding gums
- Swollen gums
- Bad breath
- Loosening teeth
- A change in your bite
Our top periodontal treatments at Pacific Coast Dentistry include:
Chemotherapeutic Rinses

Gum Disease and Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious infection that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. At Pacific Coast Dentistry, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to help restore your oral health.
Dr. Keyla Springe and our hygienists will thoroughly assess your gum condition and develop a personalized treatment plan. We utilize advanced techniques and technology to effectively address gum disease and develop a plan to address your periodontal needs.
LANAP® Laser Gum Disease Treatment
LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is an advanced, minimally invasive periodontal treatment designed to target infection while preserving healthy tissue, all with less discomfort and downtime. It's an excellent option for patients with more advanced periodontal disease who are seeking an effective, modern alternative to conventional gum surgery.
LANAP® uses a specialized dental laser to precisely remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from below the gumline, without the need for scalpels or sutures. The laser also helps stimulate the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the regeneration of bone and connective tissue that support your teeth.
A key benefit of LANAP® laser gum therapy is patient comfort. Because the procedure is gentle and minimally invasive, most of our periodontal patients experience less swelling, bleeding, and sensitivity both during and after treatment. Recovery is typically faster compared to traditional gum surgery, allowing you to return to your normal routine sooner.
PerioProtect®
PerioProtect® offers a revolutionary approach to managing gum disease. This innovative treatment combines professional dental cleanings with a customized at-home care system. Precision-fitted trays deliver medication directly to the affected areas below the gumline, targeting the root cause of gum disease. By reducing inflammation and promoting healing, PerioProtect® helps maintain optimal oral health.
