Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile, and protecting them requires the right care at the right time.

Our experienced team combines advanced techniques with a patient-first approach to make every visit as comfortable and reassuring as possible. If your gums bleed, ache, or just don’t look the way they used to, you don’t have to wait it out. Come see us and get dental care in a calm, welcoming space.
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease in the gums and the structures that support your teeth. That support system includes the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Gum disease can begin as simple inflammation, but it can work its way down into the tissue and bone. Left alone, it can end with losing teeth.
Gum disease and gingivitis are among the most common oral health conditions, yet they often develop quietly before noticeable symptoms appear. Gingivitis is the earliest stage, typically causing red, swollen, or bleeding gums. Without timely treatment, it can progress into periodontitis, a more advanced condition that damages the gums, supporting bone, and connective tissues that hold your teeth in place. Routine dental visits, professional cleanings, and early intervention play an important role in protecting your gums, preserving your natural teeth, and supporting your long-term oral health.
Bleeding gums: Bleeding while brushing or flossing is often one of the earliest warning signs of periodontitis. Inflammation caused by harmful bacteria makes the gum tissue more sensitive and prone to bleeding.
Receding gums: As gum disease progresses, the gums may gradually pull away from the teeth. This exposes the tooth roots, increases sensitivity, and can make the teeth appear longer.
Persistent bad breath: Bacteria trapped beneath the gum line can create ongoing bad breath that doesn’t improve with brushing or mouthwash alone.
Loose teeth: Advanced periodontal disease weakens the structures supporting the teeth, causing them to loosen, shift position, or affect the way your bite feels.
Pus around the gums: In more severe cases, infection may cause pus to develop around the teeth and gum tissue, indicating the need for prompt professional treatment.
Pain or tenderness: Inflamed or infected gums may become sore, swollen, or uncomfortable, particularly while eating, brushing, or flossing.
Changes in your bite: As supporting bone and gum tissue deteriorate, teeth can gradually shift, changing the way they fit together when you bite.
Noticing any of these? Reach out to the Smile Flossophy team here in Lawrenceville sooner rather than later. Waiting gives the disease room to advance, and it can cause damage that can’t be undone.
Gum therapy, also called periodontal therapy, is the heart of periodontal care that focuses on controlling infection, protecting healthy tissue, and restoring the foundation of your smile. It combines a range of specialized techniques and procedures to restore gum health, prevent further damage, and support long-term oral wellness.
During your visit, the Smile Flossophy team will perform a comprehensive periodontal evaluation before recommending the most appropriate course of treatment. This may include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gum line while smoothing the tooth roots to discourage future bacterial buildup.
Not every gum problem needs the same fix, so we keep several options within reach. Scaling and root planing take care of the deep cleaning. LANAP uses a laser to treat gum disease. Bone grafting and sinus lift help rebuild bone that’s been lost, often as groundwork for dental implants. Frenectomies release tight bands of tissue that pull on the gums or limit movement. Whichever one suits you, we’ll walk you through it before anything starts, so there are no surprises in the chair.

I have had major anxiety going to the dentist. I feel so comfortable with Dr Sunny and his staff. Although I will always have that anxiety it is definitely not anywhere near what it use to be! Dr Sunny is truly amazing, kind and patient. He is very personable as well. The staff is great from the front desk, hygienists and check out. I have never had a bad experience! Highly recommend.
