We Offer Judgment-Free Care!

Gum Disease Treatment

It may seem hard to believe, but the American Dental Association reports that chronic periodontitis affects nearly half of Americans over the age of 30. The good news is that this common condition is highly treatable and reversible if caught early.

At Urgent Dental Care, we provide gentle gum disease treatment, and we’re here to offer support and comfortable care to you and your family.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, occurs when your gum tissues get infected; if left untreated, it can eventually lead to tooth loss. In its early stages, gum disease isn’t painful, so you may not even know you have it.

But eventually, you may begin to notice that your gums are red or swollen or that they bleed when you brush or floss your teeth.

Some of the factors that can increase your chances of getting gum disease include the following:

Poor oral hygiene
Tobacco use
Diabetes
Genetics
Certain medications

Gingivitis — The Early, Reversible Stage

Gingivitis is the earliest stage of gum disease, and it’s caused by plaque buildup at the gumline. With professional cleanings and diligent brushing and flossing, this form of gum disease is reversible.

Periodontitis — When It Becomes More Serious

Without proper treatment, the infection can spread below the gumline. This stage of gum disease, known as periodontitis, can deteriorate your jawbone and connective tissue, and eventually lead to tooth loss.

Why Choose Urgent Dental Care for Gum Disease Treatment

We understand that there are plenty of dentists to choose from, but here’s what sets us apart:

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we welcome walk-ins almost daily, starting at 9:00 a.m., which ensures patients get the care they need.

Our friendly dental practice has two dentists, which helps make walk-in dental care possible. If you’re out and about and have an oral health issue that shouldn’t wait, your walk-in dentist in Milwaukee is happy to help.

Key reasons to consider walk-in dentistry:

You have a toothache or other oral health issue that shouldn’t wait.
You have a busy schedule but enough time on a particular day to see the dentist.
You have an oral health concern causing stress and worry and are looking for peace of mind.

We Make Dental Care Accessible and Convenient

Besides walk-ins, we’re thrilled to be here for our patients seven days a week. That’s right! We don’t take days off because emergencies and dental health issues don’t always happen on convenient weekdays.

When We Refer You to a Periodontist

Our dental team will do everything possible to effectively treat your gums in our West Allis office, but sometimes, a periodontist may be what’s best for your long-term oral health and overall wellness.

As part of a comprehensive care plan, we may refer you to a trusted periodontist if you have advanced periodontitis or bone loss. A periodontist specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, making them the best choice for surgical treatments, such as bone grafting or pocket reduction.
