Are you experiencing any of these symptoms associated with gum disease?

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it may be time to schedule a dental checkup. Dr. Donald Alexander offers complete dental care in Jacksonville, FL for patients of all ages. Dr. Alexander works with you to develop the right treatment for your smile. During your visit, Dr. Alexander performs a comprehensive exam to check for signs of complex dental issues. If he discovers any dental concerns, he will provide the appropriate treatment to restore your smile. Dr. Alexander offers a wide range of periodontal therapy services to help patients treat and manage their gum disease.

Treatments For Gum Disease

  • Scaling and Root Planing: Scaling and root planing is an extensive deep cleaning of the teeth and gums. During the treatment, tartar and plaque buildup are removed from the teeth. This treatment is usually used in the early stages of gum disease (gingivitis) to stop the progression of the infection.
  • Laser Dentistry: Our Jacksonville dental office offers laser dentistry treatments for patients with an advanced stage of gum disease. Dr. Alexander uses a dental laser to remove diseased gum tissue and promote new healthy tissue to grow in its place. Laser dentistry allows for a quicker recovery because many patients experience little to no bleeding or swelling after treatment.
  • Schedule regular visits to our Jacksonville dental office. Dr. Alexander provides periodontal screening during each visit. Catching gum disease early may minimize your chance of needing extensive treatment. Visiting our office twice a year helps keep your smile healthy and lowers your chance of developing a complex dental problem.
