Dr. Nancy Gail Mclaurin DMD's Expert Contributions
  • What is the treatment for periodontitis?

    The first thing to do is to have a comprehensive periodontal evaluation to determine the course of treatment. Sometimes we start with a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and then do another evaluation after the patient has had time to heal. Other times the patient needs to go straight to periodontal surgery. READ MORE

  • Can gingivitis be prevented?

    The best way to prevent gingivitis is to brush with a soft toothbrush and make sure you brush at the gum line. You should also use dental floss daily. Lastly, you need to have your teeth cleaned on a regular basis at your dental office. READ MORE

  • I am having a dull pain in my gums while chewing food. Could it be sign of an infection?

    Any type of pain in your mouth should be evaluated. A dull pain could be a sign that the gum is infected or it could be a sign that the tooth needs a root canal. You should go see your dentist! READ MORE

  • Why are my gums darkening?

    There is normal pigmentation in some mouths. If there is a sudden darkening, you should have your gums evaluated to make sure there is nothing alarming going on. READ MORE

  • Are there early signs and symptoms of periodontal problems?

    Early signs of periodontal disease are bleeding with brushing or flossing and tenderness of the gums. The best way to take care of your gums is to brush and floss daily. Some people need to use other cleaning devices that your dentist will recommend. It is also very important to have your teeth cleaned at the dental office on a regular basis. Some people only need to have their teeth cleaned every 6 months. Others need to go more often. READ MORE

  • Is gum disease possible in a 3 year old?

  • What could be the reason for white spots on my gums?

    There are a number of reasons for white spots on your gums. You should have them evaluated. Smokeless tobacco is a major cause. Some viruses can cause white spots. Also, you could have a fungal infection. READ MORE

  • Why are my dental implants hurting my gums?

  • Can periodontal disease be reversed?

    There are several types of periodontal disease. Most of the time, periodontal disease is a chronic condition. There are times when bone can be regenerated - but, we don't get rid of the disease. Our goal is to find a way to prevent further bone loss and to regenerate the bone that has been lost. If your father went for a long period of time without having his teeth cleaned, it is possible that his condition could be reversed. READ MORE
