Choose La Jolla Gum Disease Care at San Diego Sleep Apnea Centers

Gum disease is very prevalent in our society, affecting more than half of adults, according to some studies. Have you noticed loose teeth, bad breath, or swollen or bleeding gums? Did you know that, if left untreated, gum disease and gingivitis can lead to bone loss or tooth decay in your mouth or even a heart attack from the potentially invasive bacterial infection that characterizes gum disease?

Highly-regarded La Jolla gum disease expert, Gary Sigafoos, D.D.S., is a board-certified periodontist with the experience to offer the most effective periodontal gum disease treatment options.

Depending on the severity of the condition, Dr. Sigafoos may be able to help with non-surgical treatment options such as scaling and root planing, which means a deep cleaning of pockets to avoid a deep gum disease infection.

In more serious cases, Dr. Sigafoos may suggest surgical treatment to regenerate bone that has decayed or to close pockets and make them free of gum disease infection. In any event, regular appointments at San Diego Sleep Apnea Centers are recommended even after the first treatment and can help you avoid recurrence or new gum disease infection.
