Symptoms of Gum Disease

We also want you to be aware of the following symptoms of gum disease:

  • A receding gum line.
  • Bleeding gums.
  • Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth that won’t go away.
  • Gums that are swollen or painful to the touch.
  • Loose permanent teeth.
  • A shift or change in the way your dentures fit.

Periodontal disease comes in many forms and levels of seriousness. From the common and reversible chronic gingivitis to the aggressive forms like chronic periodontitis, we can help you take care of your gums. Milder forms of the disease are easily treated by simple cleaning, while the more serious forms of the disease require more advanced treatment.

For the treatment of periodontal disease, we use soft-tissue laser dentistry. It is a safe treatment option for periodontal disease. This therapy uses laser technology to remove inflamed tissue, leaving your bone and healthy gums intact.

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Michelsen. As she has recently taken over this practice, we have only had a few visits with her but right off the bat, she made us feel right at ease and very comfortable with both her skill as a dentist and also her personal attention to her patients. She takes the time to get to know you, which we like. Her office staff is always very warm and inviting and never fail to greet you with a smile. I have already referred a friend and hoping we have the opportunity to refer others!

I've been procrastinating on going to the dentist for a few years because I was nervous of what I might need. But after visiting with Dr. Michelsen, I found that I was worried for no reason at all. She and her staff are kind, patient, and gentle! I'm smiling because, not only are my teeth nice and healthy again, I also got my smile brightened. It looks better than I thought possible...and makes me feel happy about myself again.

Very helpful and friendly staff. I love that they make your crown right there and you don't have to have a temporary tooth and wait for the permanent tooth.
