What Is Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Gum disease can affect more than just your smile. It can lead to discomfort, bad breath, and serious dental problems. At Oasis Smiles Dentistry and Vista Oasis Smiles, we help our patients take care of their gums to protect teeth and overall oral health. Caused by damaging dental bacteria, periodontal disease is regarded as a major source of loose or missing teeth among those past the age of 35 and is often related to a number of overall health concerns. These bacteria live within tartar deposits that can pile up on the teeth and secrete toxins that may start to degrade the gums, bone, and other tissues that hold every tooth in its proper spot. Periodontal disease develops in stages, starting as gingivitis with redness, swelling, and bleeding. Without care, it can progress to periodontitis, causing deep infections and tooth loss. Treatment for gum disease includes addressing bad breath or halitosis, reducing gum inflammation, and protecting your oral health. A strong foundation of healthy gums helps keep your teeth for years to come. Contact our San Diego or Vista, CA office to schedule a consultation and seek early care and better results.
How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?
Treatment for gum disease depends on its severity. Scaling and root planing removes plaque and tartar beneath the gumline to reduce inflammation. Laser gum therapy targets bacteria while promoting healing. Antibacterial treatments control infection, and gum grafting restores receding gum tissue. In severe cases, surgical treatment may be necessary to repair damage. Bad breath treatment involves deep cleaning to remove odor-causing bacteria, antimicrobial rinses to reduce bacterial buildup, and personalized hygiene recommendations to keep the mouth fresh and healthy.

Oasis Smiles Dentistry Reviews
Dr. Bohr is an experienced and knowlegable professional who provides great service. She is pleasant to work with, gets right to the issue, explains everything clearly, and produces timely results. She understands pain management and offers competitive pricing. I had a dental emergency, (a broken bridge), last Friday in the afternoon. I called Oasis Smiles at about 3pm, and was invited to come in to the office immediately. Even though it was late on a Friday, Dr. Bohr and her staff gave me immediate care, and were able to create a temporary bridge for the emergency. They gave me a followup appointment for Monday morning, and performed everything needed to set up the lab work that was needed to rebuild the bridge. I am very thankful for how they handled my dental emergency, and how quickly they were able to handle what was needed in a timely manner.
I found Oasis Smiles a very friendly place and Dr. Bhore very pleasant to work with. The proceduer was conducted painlessly and the after care was very well explained. I shall recommend this place to all my friends.
Honestly 10/10 from the minute I walked in the door Tracy was so nice and helpful and so funny. Nancy was so kind while helping me in the back as well. The doctor was amazing as well I definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much!!
Most important quality of Dr Bhor is she will do what is needed. Suggests what can be done later and does not try to get more work than needed. High quality work, excellent pain management. Tried many dentists in the past but this one stands out.
Most fun I have ever had at the Dentist Office. BetweenTracy and Dr Bhor I was given answers for all my questions and all concerns were addressed. I am extremely comfortable with the treatment plan presented. Retired Navy Master Chief and strongly recommend Vista Oasis Smiles.
