Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth — and without them, even the most beautiful teeth cannot stay in place. Periodontal disease affects nearly half of American adults aged 30 and older, according to the CDC, yet many patients don’t realize they have it until the disease has progressed significantly. At Maison Dental Studio, Dr. Murray and Dr. Mullen approach periodontal health with the same thoroughness they bring to every restorative case, because they understand that what happens beneath the gumline directly affects what’s visible above it.
The connection between gum disease and systemic health is well established. Treating gum disease is not purely a cosmetic concern — it is a meaningful investment in your overall health. Patients who have been diagnosed with any of these systemic conditions are especially encouraged to maintain consistent periodontal care:
Our approach emphasizes early detection through comprehensive periodontal examinations at every routine visit. We measure gum pocket depths, assess attachment levels, evaluate bone levels with digital x-rays, and identify areas of active infection or recession. Catching periodontal disease in its early stages — when it is still reversible with non-surgical treatment — is the single most important factor in long-term gum health. Patients are never pressured; they are informed and empowered to decide.
Periodontal disease develops in distinct stages, and the stage determines both the urgency and the type of treatment required.
After active treatment, a customized periodontal maintenance schedule — typically every three to four months — replaces routine cleanings for patients with a history of gum disease. Consistent maintenance prevents recurrence and protects the investment made in treatment. Our team works with your specific risk profile, including smoking history, diabetes management, medications, and genetic factors, to build a plan that keeps your gums stable long-term. For patients who have lost teeth to gum disease, dental implants can restore full function once periodontal health is established.
Comprehensive periodontal examinations during routine visits identify gum problems early when they're easiest to treat and reverse.
We offer advanced non-surgical therapies including scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and laser treatment managing periodontal disease effectively.
Customized maintenance programs with frequent professional cleanings and tailored home care instructions help you maintain healthy gums long-term.

Warning signs include bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, pain when chewing, changes in bite alignment, and visible pus around teeth. However, early gum disease often causes no discomfort, making regular dental examinations essential for early detection.
Treatment depends on disease severity. Early gingivitis reverses with professional cleaning and improved home care. Periodontitis requires scaling and root planing to remove bacteria and tartar below the gum line. Advanced cases may need surgical intervention. We’ll develop treatment plans based on your specific condition and needs.
Most patients respond well to non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing. Surgery becomes necessary only when deep pockets persist after initial treatment or when significant bone loss requires regeneration procedures. Our goal is always to manage disease with the least invasive approach providing successful outcomes.
Prevent gum disease through consistent oral hygiene including brushing twice daily, flossing or using interdental cleaners daily, and professional cleanings every six months. Don’t smoke, manage diabetes effectively, eat nutritious diets, and address teeth grinding. Regular dental visits allow early detection and intervention before problems develop.
