Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Periodontal Care?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, a mild form marked by red, swollen, or bleeding gums, and can progress to periodontitis, a more serious condition that damages the gums, ligaments, and bone holding your teeth in place. Caused primarily by plaque and tartar buildup, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. With early detection and proper care from Dr. Shahrokh and our team at All Smiles Dental Studio, it is both treatable and preventable.

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers

How much does periodontal care cost?
The cost of periodontal care varies based on the type and severity of treatment needed, from routine deep cleanings to more advanced therapies. At All Smiles Dental Studio, we'll provide a clear, upfront estimate and discuss financing or in-house plan options to make care affordable.
Does dental insurance cover periodontal care?
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment either fully or in part, since it's considered essential to your overall oral health. Our team will gladly verify your benefits, file your claim, and walk you through your coverage so there are no surprises.
What if gum disease is left untreated?
When gum disease is left untreated, it can progress and lead to more serious dental problems, such as tooth loss, bone loss, and even systemic health issues. Our team can provide effective treatment options to help restore the health of your gums and prevent future problems.
What are the stages of gum disease?
Gum disease progresses through three main stages: gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Gingivitis is the mild, reversible stage marked by red or bleeding gums, while periodontitis and advanced periodontitis involve growing damage to the gums, ligaments, and bone that support your teeth.
How do I schedule periodontal care in Encinitas, CA?
Call our office at (760) 232-8878 or request an appointment online, and our friendly team will help you find a convenient time.
What Causes Gum Disease?
Gum disease develops when plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—accumulates on your teeth and along the gumline, eventually hardening into tartar. While poor oral hygiene is the leading culprit, several other factors can raise your risk, including smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, and a family history of gum problems. Even stress and poor nutrition can play a role. Understanding what's contributing to your gum issues helps Dr. Shahrokh design a treatment and prevention plan that targets the root cause and keeps your gums healthy.
What Should You Expect During Periodontal Care in Encinitas, CA?
Your periodontal care begins with a thorough evaluation of your gums, teeth, and bone health, often including measurements of any pockets that have formed around your teeth. Based on what Dr. Shahrokh finds, treatment may range from a deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing to more advanced therapies for severe cases. Throughout the process, our team prioritizes your comfort and explains each step clearly. We'll also provide guidance on home care so you can maintain your results and protect your gums going forward.
Can Gum Disease Be Reversed?
Whether gum disease can be reversed depends largely on how early it's caught. In its earliest stage, gingivitis, the condition is fully reversible with professional cleanings and improved home care, since no permanent damage has occurred yet. Once it advances to periodontitis, however, the goal shifts from reversing to managing the disease and preventing further harm to the gums and bone. This is why early detection is so valuable. Regular visits to All Smiles Dental Studio give you the best chance of stopping gum disease before it progresses.
