Whether strolling through Encinitas Ranch Town Center or enjoying time with family at the park, having healthy gums means smiling confidently without worry.
Gum therapy involves professional cleanings and treatments to prevent and manage the early signs of gum disease. When plaque and tartar build up on your teeth, it can irritate and inflame your gums, leading to gingivitis. If left untreated, this can become a more severe condition known as periodontitis, damaging the bone supporting your teeth. Fortunately, gum disease is preventable with regular care and attention.
Our gum therapy services include:

Many people think of their teeth first when it comes to oral health, but healthy gums are just as important. Your gums protect the roots of your teeth and the bone that supports them, so neglecting your gums can lead to serious problems down the road.
Signs you might need gum therapy include:
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule an appointment. Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth; it can also impact your overall health. Studies show a strong link between gum disease and conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and even pregnancy complications. You're investing in your health by taking care of your gums.
At Espire Dental Encinitas, we focus on preventive gum therapy to stop gum disease before it becomes a major problem. Our regular cleanings and tailored advice help reduce the risk of needing more intensive treatments down the line, such as periodontal surgery or tooth extraction.
We recommend scheduling a cleaning every six months to maintain optimal gum health. More frequent visits may be needed for patients with gingivitis or early signs of gum disease.
During a gum therapy visit, we’ll thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. We’ll also assess your gum health and provide home care recommendations.
