Gum Disease Therapy

You might be surprised to learn that up to 80% of the population unknowingly has some form of gum disease. This bacterial infection can invade your mouth and wreak havoc with your oral and overall health. But there's good news – our dentists offer targeted gum treatments to halt the progression of this stealthy disease and promote good periodontal health.

At your examination, our onsite periodontist will evaluate your gums. He'll look for redness, swelling, and other evidence of infection. Caught in the early stage, gum disease symptoms can be relieved with a thorough cleaning and proper brushing and flossing techniques, which our hygienist will teach you.

Your dentist may recommend antibiotic gum treatment to treat moderate cases of gum disease. If your gum disease has progressed to the point that you require surgery, our periodontist will perform the procedure in our Boston office. This means that you'll receive quality care by a highly trained specialist who understands your unique needs – all in an environment you know and trust.

Call today to schedule your gum disease assessment and treatment with Dr. Alfred L. Kraft D.M.D. & Associates. Our Boston dental office serves residents of Back Bay, Cambridge, Beacon Hill, and surrounding areas with exemplary care for remarkable smiles.
