Safeguard Your Smile

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. We'll help you achieve both. You'll find a range of effective gum disease solutions. Dr. Fisher offers:

Scaling and Root Planing - This deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar beneath the gumline. It's an essential step in stopping gum disease and promoting healthier gums.
Laser Therapy - Our laser-assisted scaling and root planing treatments remove infected tissue while minimizing discomfort. The laser encourages faster healing and reduces the need for invasive procedures.

In addition, Dr. Fisher may combine these treatments with topical antibiotics and antibacterial irrigation. They help fight bacteria beyond the office, giving your gums extra strength and resilience.

I’ve been going to Dr. Fisher’s office for a few years now. I think he is a wonderful dentist. He takes his time to actually talk with you and has the patience to listen to everything you have to say, I never feel rushed. I met Rachel one of his dental hygienist today and she was just phenomenal! I told her about my highly sensitive areas, due to receding gum lines and she actually listened and asked if I wanted some numbing gel put on those areas to help ease the pain. No one‘s ever recommended that to me. It made such a difference in my teeth cleaning! She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. I really enjoyed my visit with her. She’s so good at her job and she’s so personable! She is just awesome. I can’t say it enough!! I’m actually looking forward to my next teeth cleaning! And I can’t forget about Christina at the front desk. She is very welcoming and super sweet too. Oh, and there was the lady that was checking me out, I didn’t get her name, but she was really nice too. I would highly recommend Dr. Fisher’s office to anyone and everyone they are also wonderful.

What are the symptoms of gum disease?

Gum disease often begins with mild symptoms, such as bleeding gums when you brush or floss, redness, and persistent bad breath. As it progresses, you might notice gum recession, loose teeth, or pain when chewing. In many cases, the early stages may not cause noticeable discomfort, making routine dental exams crucial. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek treatment early to prevent further damage.

How is gum disease treated?

Treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease. In early stages, a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing can remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Advanced treatments, such as laser-assisted therapy and antibacterial irrigation, target bacteria and promote gum healing. Your dentist may also recommend follow-up care with topical antibiotics to ensure long-term health and prevent recurrence.

Can gum disease be reversed?

In its early stage, gingivitis, gum disease can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene at home. However, more advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, cannot be fully reversed but can be managed with treatments to stop its progression. Scaling, root planing, and other solutions can restore gum health and prevent further damage. Regular maintenance visits are essential to keep your gums healthy and prevent future complications.
