Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums. The infection, caused by bacteria causes redness, inflammation, and swelling but can be completely painless. Periodontal disease is usually the second stage of gum disease following gingivitis. Because it is painless, the disease often goes unnoticed till severe bone loss occurs and the teeth start getting loose. The condition might affect a single tooth or a number of teeth in a row.
Contact your dentist if you experience any of these symptoms:
Periodontal disease, if treated early enough, can be cured, but if delayed, you could lose several teeth and the infection could spread to the bone. Do not hesitate to schedule a consultation if you have any of the above-mentioned symptoms.
Periodontal disease is an advanced form of gum disease and is best treated with surgery. At Smooth Dental Group, Dr. Elizabeth Tran is a fully trained, experienced provider in periodontal surgery. Dr. Tran will first examine you thoroughly and assess your condition. She will then inform you if you require surgery and will answer any and all questions you might have. Dr. Tran is extremely careful and very systematic; she will consider your full medical history before starting you on any course of treatment.
Please inform the doctor if you are in any pain or discomfort after the procedure. Anti-inflammatory medication and painkillers can be prescribed to help ease your condition. The doctor will also give you all the instructions you need regarding oral and dental hygiene and post-operative care. Follow up visits will also be scheduled to assure the full success of your treatment.

Donavan Balan2022-10-27A very trustworthy dentist will always come backMaryann Patino2022-10-06I was referred to this dentist by a friend and was pleasantly impressed by the dentist and all her staff. Everyone was extremely professional and made sure to educate me on my dental work. I had to have deep cleaning and 1 tooth extracted. The dental staff kept me informed as to what to expect from each procedure and educated me on the proper care after each procedure. The dentist even called me at home after the procedures to see how I was feeling. !!! Another important feature was all the preventative education I was provided. I would definitely refer anyone to this dentist!!featureCelina Beaumont2022-10-04Happy with service and definitely I like the people 😀Yeimmi Aguirre2022-09-26Everyone is so friendly, understanding and patience, I really appreciate you all take an amazing care for us and make us feel so comfortable.Adolfo Hernandez2022-09-02My time here at smooth dental has been great.the doctors and staff are amazing and tentative I definetly recommend.
