Your gums do more than frame your smile, they anchor your teeth and shield the bone beneath them. At Lake Magdalene Dental on N Florida Ave, Dr. Mateen Sheikh provides comfortable, personalized periodontal (gum) treatment for patients across Lake Magdalene, the Lake Magdalene area, and surrounding communities. As an independent, family-owned practice with a 5.0-star Google rating from 210+ patient reviews, we take the time to understand your gum health and build a care plan around your needs, never a rushed, one-size-fits-all approach.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It usually begins as gingivitis, mild inflammation caused by plaque and bacteria building up along the gumline. Left unchecked, it can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, deeper pockets form, and the supporting bone can be affected. Warning signs include gums that bleed easily, redness or swelling, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or teeth that feel loose.
Gum disease is common and often develops quietly, which is why early attention matters. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), treating gum disease in its earlier stages can help protect both your teeth and the bone around them. Daily brushing and flossing, combined with regular professional care, are your best defense, as outlined by the CDC Oral Health program.
Periodontal treatment is designed to remove the bacteria and buildup that fuel the infection, reduce inflammation, and help your gums reattach to healthier tooth surfaces. Depending on the stage, this may range from a deep cleaning to more focused therapy and an ongoing maintenance schedule.
Gum health connects to nearly every part of your dental care. At Lake Magdalene Dental, we treat periodontal concerns alongside the routine and restorative care that keeps your whole mouth healthy.

How do I know if I need periodontal treatment?
Common signs include gums that bleed when you brush or floss, swelling or redness, persistent bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth. A gum evaluation with Dr. Sheikh is the surest way to know where your gum health stands and whether treatment would help.
Is gum treatment uncomfortable?
We focus on keeping you comfortable throughout. For deeper cleanings we can numb the area so the process is gentle, and many patients find it far easier than they expected. We always explain each step before we begin.
