Cox Family Dentistry – Periodontist in Allen, TX 75002

Periodontal (gum) disease is a common but serious condition caused by plaque buildup that leads to gum inflammation, bleeding, and potential tooth loss. Cox Family Dentistry identifies and monitors gum disease through thorough exams, measuring gum pockets and checking for infection.

Treatment typically starts with deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and promote healing. In advanced cases, antibiotics or surgical options may be recommended. Ongoing care—including good daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits—is key to managing the disease long term. Contact us today!
