Gum Disease Treatment in Garland, TX
Protect Your Smile and Gum Health with Expert Care
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems—but it’s also highly treatable when caught early. At Oak Ridge Dental, we offer personalized gum disease treatment to help restore your oral health and prevent further damage. Whether you’re experiencing mild symptoms or advanced gum issues, Dr. Nyugen and our team in Garland, TX are here to help.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) starts when plaque builds up along the gumline. If not removed, this can cause the gums to become red, swollen, or bleed easily—a condition known as gingivitis. Left untreated, it can lead to periodontitis, which may result in gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Signs You May Have Gum Disease
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession (pulling away from the teeth)
- Loose or sensitive teeth
- Pain when chewing
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Early treatment can prevent long-term damage and restore your gum health.
Deep Cleaning for Gum Disease
One of the most effective non-surgical treatments for early gum disease is a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This procedure is more thorough than a regular cleaning and targets buildup beneath the gumline.
- Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gumline.
- Root planing smooths the roots of your teeth, helping your gums reattach and preventing future buildup.
Deep cleaning is often done in sections over one or more visits, depending on how much buildup is present. It’s a comfortable procedure that plays a key role in stopping gum disease from getting worse.
Ongoing Gum Care
After treatment, we’ll work with you to create a maintenance plan. This may include:
- More frequent cleanings
- Improved at-home care tips
- Possible use of medicated rinses or antibiotics
- Monitoring gum pocket depth and healing

Dr. Nguyen And her staff were all very patient and kind. I have been a patient here for 4 or 5 years and service is always timely and professional. I was experiencing severe pain during a filling and Dr.Nguyen and her team member both were extremely sympathetic to my discomfort and accommodating. They truly went the extra mile for me, and I appreciate them for it. 10/10 would recommend.
