Periodontal Therapy
Maintaining optimal oral health extends far beyond caring for your teeth: it requires dedicated, proactive attention to the health of your gums. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss, but its impact doesn't stop there. Clinical research shows a strong link between chronic gum inflammation and systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Proactive periodontal therapy stops infection in its tracks, helping you protect both your smile and your body.
Through gentle, non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing (deep cleanings), we reach deep below the gumline to clear away hardened plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from the root surfaces. When paired with targeted germ-fighting treatments and a personalized home routine, early gum care quickly eliminates bad breath, soothes swollen or tender gums, and stops gum loss in its tracks. Taking action early gives you peace of mind and keeps your smile healthy, comfortable, and strong for years to come.

Understanding Gum Disease
Risks & Modern Care
Gum disease begins when plaque and bacteria build up along the gumline, causing chronic inflammation known in its early stage as gingivitis. Because the initial stages are often completely painless, many patients have no obvious warning signs until the condition progresses into periodontitis. As the infection deepens, it destroys the soft tissue and supporting bone beneath your teeth, leading to gum recession, painful swelling, persistent bad breath, and eventually loose or missing teeth.
Fortunately, catching gum disease early allows us to reverse or manage the infection using comfortable, non-surgical approaches. By utilizing topical numbing agents and gentle techniques, we can thoroughly clean infected root surfaces and restore tissue health with minimal discomfort. With consistent routine maintenance and collaborative care with Dr. Bateson, you can halt the progression of gum disease and keep your natural smile fully intact.

Perio Protect®
Advanced, At-Home Gum Therapy
As part of our commitment to non-invasive care, Bateson Dentistry is proud to be a certified Perio Protect® provider in Findlay. While traditional brushing, flossing, and mouthwashes are great for surface cleaning, they cannot reach deep beneath the gumline where harmful, infection-causing bacteria thrive. The Perio Protect® system bridges this gap by combining your regular professional cleanings with comfortable, custom-fit Perio Trays® that deliver prescription-strength medication directly into deep periodontal pockets.
Using a special internal seal, your custom Perio Tray® creates gentle pressure to deliver medication deep into infected areas that toothbrush bristles simply cannot reach. You simply place the medication in your tray and wear it for just 10 to 15 minutes a day at home. As the active medication clears away bacteria beneath the gums, patients not only notice a significant reduction in bleeding and inflammation, but also enjoy the added benefits of fresher breath and naturally brighter teeth over time.

- How Perio Protect® Fights Gum Disease Below the Surface -
In chronic gum disease, harmful bacteria hide deep within pockets beneath your gumline, forming a tough, protective shield called a biofilm that brushing, flossing, and mouthwashes simply can’t wash away. The patented Perio Tray® solves this by using a soft, custom seal that creates gentle pressure, pushing a prescription oxygenating gel deep below your gums and reaching infection zones that traditional at-home care can never touch.
Once delivered, the active gel breaks down and dissolves this stubborn bacterial shield while releasing oxygen directly into the deep pockets. Because the bacteria causing gum disease thrive in oxygen-starved environments, this rush of oxygen neutralizes the infection at its source, calming inflammation, stopping bleeding, and giving your gums the clean, healthy environment they need to heal naturally.

Your Perio Protect® Journey
Step-by-Step
Getting started with Perio Protect at Bateson Dentistry is simple, comfortable, and completely tailored to your unique oral health needs:
Digital Scans & Custom Fit
Dr. Angela Bateson will evaluate your gum health and take precise digital scans or impressions of your mouth. These are sent to a specialized laboratory to fabricate your custom-molded Perio Trays®.
Your Daily At-Home Routine
Once your trays are ready, we will show you how to place a small amount of the prescribed gel into the trays. You simply wear them for just 10 to 15 minutes a day—while reading, watching TV, or getting ready in the morning.
Ongoing Monitoring & Maintenance
Dr. Bateson will track your progress over time during your regular checkups. As inflammation subsides and bleeding stops, your daily wear time can often be adjusted to a simple maintenance routine to keep harmful bacteria from ever returning.

Laser Gum Surgery
Laser Gum Surgery
For precise, minimally invasive treatment, Dr. Bateson utilizes state-of-the-art dental laser technology to treat gum disease with unmatched comfort and precision. The laser selectively targets and vaporizes diseased tissue beneath the gumline while sterilizing the area and leaving surrounding healthy tissue completely untouched. Because the laser self-seals blood vessels as it works, patients experience virtually no bleeding, no need for stitches, and significantly faster, more comfortable healing times compared to traditional surgical methods.
Gingivectomy Procedures
A gingivectomy is a specialized procedure designed to safely remove excess, overgrown, or infected gum tissue. Whether performed to eliminate deep bacterial pockets caused by advanced periodontal disease, reshape tissue altered by medication, or correct a "gummy" smile, this procedure restores both the function and appearance of your gumline. By reducing overgrown tissue, a gingivectomy eliminates hidden spaces where bacteria thrive, making your teeth easier to clean and creating a balanced, healthy frame for your smile.
