Gum Disease Treatment Clemmons, NC
At Clemmons Village Smiles, we specialize in diagnosing and treating gum disease (periodontal disease) to preserve your oral health and protect your smile for life. Gum disease is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and the bone that supports your teeth. It can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss if left untreated, but early care and expert periodontal therapy can stop its progression and restore gum health.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, caused by bacteria that accumulate in plaque and tartar. In its early stage (gingivitis), gums may appear red, swollen, or bleed easily. If it progresses to periodontitis, deeper pockets form between the teeth and gums, bone loss can occur, and long-term damage may result.
When you visit our clinic, we will start with a thorough periodontal exam. We measure gum pocket depths, look for inflammation and bone loss, and assess your overall gum health to create a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Periodontics Q&A
Is gum disease treatable?
Yes, especially when caught early. If you are concerned about potential gum disease, it is important to get it checked out as soon as possible to better your chances of reversal.
In the early stages, (gingivitis), it is reversible with good hygiene and professional cleanings, but the advanced stage (periodontitis) can’t be cured, only managed and controlled with professional deep cleaning, potential surgery, and ongoing care to prevent further damage and bone loss.
How often should I have checkups after gum disease?
After gum disease treatment, periodontal maintenance visits are typically scheduled every 3–4 months based on your individual needs.
Does periodontic treatment hurt?
No, this treatment is normally a painless experience. We give patients local anesthesia to ensure no pain is felt throughout the procedure, and any discomfort during or after the treatment is mild and doesn’t last long.
If you are concerned about getting your gum disease treated, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team and we can go over the process with you and answer any questions you have.
