Temecula Gum Disease Treatment

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile

Don’t ignore bleeding or swollen gums

Gums that bleed when you brush, look red or puffy, or have started to pull away from your teeth are early warning signs of gum disease, and it won’t resolve on its own. The good news: caught early, it’s very treatable. Our Temecula gum disease treatment is designed to stop the infection, protect the bone and tissue that hold your teeth in place, and get your smile back to health.

Dr. Paul Mundl and our team take a gentle, personalized approach. We’ll explain exactly what’s happening with your gums and recommend the most conservative treatment that will get them healthy again.

How we treat gum disease

Your care is matched to the stage of gum disease we find:

Early detection and prevention through thorough exams and professional cleanings to stop gum disease before it takes hold.
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the roots so your gums can heal and reattach.
Periodontal maintenance cleanings on a customized schedule to keep inflammation under control and prevent gum disease from returning.

For anxious patients, we offer comfort options, including nitrous, oral, and IV sedation, so treatment is as relaxed as possible.

What to expect

A careful periodontal evaluation

We measure the pockets around your teeth, check for gum recession and bone loss, and use digital imaging to see the full picture.

A clear, personalized plan

We explain what we found in plain language and walk you through your options, costs, and timeline with full transparency.

Gentle, conservative treatment

We start with the least invasive option that will restore your gum health, keeping your comfort front and center.

A plan to keep you healthy

Once your gums are stable, we set you up with a maintenance routine and simple home-care habits to protect your results.
