And so the way that we approach treating gum disease here is to first do a thorough evaluation and we’re basically recording six points around each tooth. What’s the level of the gums relative to the enamel and also what’s the relative position of the bone to the gums. And so gum disease can be a kind of a sleeper disease.
People won’t know that they have it. You know like, oh my gums bleed a little bit when I floss or my gums are bleeding when I brush. But they don’t really know what’s going on underneath the soft tissue.
And so we’ll have someone comes in and their gums look fairly normal in terms of their position. It might look a little bit puffy but we do this exam and we find that they’ve got moderate or sometimes severe bone loss going on underneath. And so that’s where the exam is extremely important to know what type of cleaning does this person need.
And then from there we’re going into first off getting them the right treatment, the right type of cleaning, and then putting them on a recall schedule that’s appropriate for them. And then helping them to change some things at home in terms of how they’re caring for themselves. Maybe find some different treatment aids and to help them be able to clean in the areas they need to at home so that we can maintain what they have.

Enjoy Healthy Gums Again With Our Treatment
Our approach to treating gum disease uses proven techniques to restore your gum health. We’ll create a customized treatment plan based on the severity of your condition and your specific needs. Many patients achieve excellent results through a combination of treatments, helping them avoid more invasive surgical procedures.
Our nonsurgical gum disease treatments include:
- Scaling and Root Planing – This deep-cleaning procedure removes harmful bacteria, plaque, and tartar from both above and below your gumline. The treatment finishes by smoothing your tooth roots to prevent future bacterial attachment and promote healing.
- Topical Antibiotics – Our team carefully places these medications directly into infected gum pockets. The antibiotics provide targeted treatment that continues working for several days to eliminate harmful bacteria and speed up healing.
- Antibacterial Irrigation – This treatment uses specialized solutions to flush out bacteria and debris from deep within your gum pockets. The irrigation helps to disinfect areas that regular cleaning cannot reach.
We often combine these treatments for the most effective results, monitoring your progress and adjusting your care plan as needed. Our team will also teach you specific home care techniques and recommend products to help maintain your gum health between visits.
Your comfort is our priority throughout treatment, and we use local anesthetic when needed to ensure a pain-free experience. Let us help you restore your gum health and protect your smile for years to come.

Fabulous dentist and hygienist. After a terrible year of dental work at a dental clinic called monocacy dental in Frederick, I found this clinic thanks to being referred by a friend. I drive an hour from home to get here, and it’s worth it to me every time. My ONLY complaint is that the office staff is a little frazzled sometimes and so they perhaps get a little forgetful. I had appointments canceled that shouldn’t have been and had to reschedule and then there was a mix up in times. That being said, they still squeezed me in despite it not being the right time. So canceling me when they shouldn’t have and then having a time mix up doesn’t bother me enough to even dock half a star. Dr Fulton and Angie were super accommodating and understanding. The clinic is clean, comfortable, and inviting. Dr Fulton and Angie are incredibly patient and kind and really know what they’re doing and how to make you the most comfortable. I love this dentist office and wish it wasn’t so far away.
Gum disease treatment is designed to get rid of plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and below your gumline. We offer several types of gum disease treatment, including scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and antibacterial irrigation. Your dentist will help decide on the right type of treatment based on your needs.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is an infection caused by bacteria in your mouth. Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that builds up around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating pockets where more bacteria accumulate. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and potentially fall out.
No, you can’t cure gum disease at home, not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can’t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all the bacteria from this area and then smooths your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate.
