Gum Health & Periodontal Therapy

Three out of four adults will experience gum disease of some form in their lifetime. Gum disease affects not only your mouth, but has been linked to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and pre-term low birth weight. The first symptoms of gum disease are often painless and overlooked by patients. Take action, and take care of your gums!

Rochester Dental Clinic employs dental software to record swelling, bleeding, and loss of gum tissue to graph the health of your gums and compare to previous recordings to catch the most minute changes as early as possible. We can diagnose and treat gum disease before it affects your overall health. 

Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection hidden below your gums. Dental cleanings can effectively remove the bacteria, but the bacteria re-populate almost immediately and the infectious cycle continues. It’s important to keep brushing and flossing, but toothbrush, rinse and floss just can’t reach deep enough to address infections below your gums.

The Perio Tray® by Perio Protect gently applies medication deep under the gums to fight the infections and prevent their recurrence. You use it at home for just minutes each day. The Tray is comfortable, flexible, and custom-fit precisely for your mouth.

It is important to treat active infections. Almost half of American adults have chronic periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease that taxes the immune system and may make it harder for your body to fight off other infectious challenges. Infections in your gums may also contribute to other chronic health problems like arterial inflammation.

Not only does Perio Tray® therapy help improve your health, it can also help you smile with more confidence. Patients using Perio Trays® report whiter teeth and fresher breath. Chronic bad breath often signals chronic gum disease. Address the disease and freshen your breath.

If you’ve been told that you have gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), ask our team if Perio Trays® are right for you.

The Proof is in Our Patients

“I highly recommend this dental clinic as one of the best around. I chose them for my veneers and the entire process was smooth and pain-free. Recently, when I experienced severe tooth pain on their day off, Dr. Tate went out of his way to open the office after hours and address my discomfort which speaks volumes about his dedication. Both he and Jenna provided exceptional care that went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you two and everyone in that office.”

“My experience at Rochester Dental Clinic was the best dental experience I have ever had! Everyone from the front desk staff to Jenna, my hygienist, was amazing! Dr. Matt was outstanding - professional, knowledgeable and very personable. My dental assistant, Tammy, was warm and compassionate. Jenna did an outstanding job as my hygienist. She was thorough and kind. I highly recommend this office. They were absolutely amazing!”

- Lindsey S.

“In the past, I havee had anxiety seeing the dentist and I can tell you that this was by far the best dental experience I've had. Had a crown done and it was all done in a single visit. They 3d modeled my crown instead of having to have a mold made. Was the best ever! Front office and the assistants were the most positive too. I'm sold on them!”

- Wade B.

“Dr Tate and staff are top notch! They provide excellent patient care, are very thorough and provide a pleasant atmosphere each visit. Exceptional dental health is no doubt their goal. I would not hesitate to recommend my family or friends to call Rochester Dental Clinic for an appointment.”
