Why Would I Need Periodontal Care?
Gum disease is often silent in its early stages. Yet it can lead to serious consequences if left untreated, including gum recession, tooth loss, and even links to heart disease and diabetes. That's why timely periodontal care is not just about comfort. It’s about safeguarding your total health. At J&J Smiles, we treat more than symptoms. We focus on the root cause, delivering care that prevents progression and promotes healing.
Not only that, but our Wickenburg patients trust us for guidance that feels both professional and personal. We take the time to explain what’s happening in your mouth and why each step of treatment matters. With tools like intraoral photography and same-day digital diagnostics, we make it easy for you to see and understand your condition. The result is better decisions and better outcomes.

The Benefits Of Periodontal Care
Prevent Tooth and Bone Loss
Left untreated, gum disease can damage the structures that hold your teeth in place. Professional periodontal care stops this progression and preserves your natural smile.
Fresher Breath and Improved Comfort
Inflamed gums and oral bacteria often cause chronic bad breath. Treating gum disease helps restore fresh breath and reduces discomfort.
Reduce Risks Related to Overall Health
Advanced gum disease is linked to heart conditions and diabetes. Timely treatment can lower your systemic health risks.
The Periodontal Care Treatment Process
Comprehensive Gum Evaluation
Your journey begins with a detailed periodontal exam by Dr. Jon or Dr. Jenna Thomson. We measure gum pocket depths, assess signs of inflammation, and use diagnostic imaging to get a clear view of your gum health. This evaluation helps us customize your treatment plan and track improvements over time. All of this is done while making sure you feel calm and cared for.
Scaling and Root Planing
Often called a “deep cleaning,” this non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline. We gently smooth the tooth roots to help gums reattach, reduce bacteria, and promote healing. Same-day treatment options are available for many of our patients, so you can begin improving your health right away without the wait.
Ongoing Maintenance and Education
After your initial treatment, we schedule regular maintenance visits to monitor your gum health and prevent recurrence. We also provide education on brushing, flossing, and lifestyle habits to support your results. At J&J Smiles, we believe that informed patients are healthier patients. We’re here to guide you long after your first visit.
