Periodontal (Gum) Disease in Rock Hill, SC
What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a condition of inflammation in the gums, which can lead to significant damage to your mouth. There are several stages of periodontal disease that range from mild to severe. The first stage is gingivitis, which is caused by plaque buildup under the gumline. If not treated, gingivitis can turn into the second phase called periodontitis, which affects the fibers and bone that support your teeth. Advanced periodontitis is the final phase of gum disease, which can cause teeth to become loose or fall out. To treat gum disease, Rise and Shine Dentistry offers both nonsurgical and surgical treatments based on the severity of the disease, such as antibiotics, scaling and root planing, gum surgery, gum tissue grafting, and tooth extraction. If you have symptoms of gum disease, contact our office in Rock Hill, SC to schedule an exam and consultation with Dr. Klein.
How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?
Treatment for gum disease will be based on the severity of your condition. If Dr. Klein determines you have gum disease, he will discuss his treatment recommendations. In mild cases, scaling and root planing (SRP) is typically recommended to deep clean your gum pockets. In more serious cases, antibiotics may be prescribed along with multiple scaling and root planing procedures. Severe cases of gum disease generally require a surgical procedure, such as pocket reduction or gum grafting.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Gum Disease?
Treating periodontal disease is crucial not only for oral health but also for overall well-being. By addressing periodontal disease promptly, our patients can enjoy a healthier mouth and a reduced risk of associated health complications. Gum disease treatment can lead to several oral health advantages, including:
- Halts disease progression
- Reduces risk of tooth loss
- Improves oral hygiene
- Decreases risk of other health issues

My experience at this dental office in Rock Hill was outstanding. Despite visiting during the hectic holiday season, the team handled my numerous dental concerns efficiently. What set this place apart was the staff's commitment to being a patient advocate. They went above and beyond with my stubborn dental insurance provider, ensuring a smoother and less stressful process than I anticipated. For anyone in Rock Hill seeking a new dental care provider, I recommend Dr. Klein and his team. Having encountered my fair share of dental challenges, I found their pricing to be exceptionally reasonable, especially in comparison to other practices and without compromising the quality of care. It's a hard act to balance and they did it well. My initial visit coincided with the practices transition under new ownership. Signs of change were evident, by my next appointment just a week later, I witnessed significant improvements in both the lobby and treatment rooms, enhancing overall comfort and ambiance. Dr. Klein and his team exceeded my expectations, solidifying my decision to make them my dental care provider going forward.
My visit at Rise and Shine Dentistry was nothing short of amazing. The front desk staff were very welcoming and warm. The cleaning I received from Mindy was so calming and informative. I didn’t have any of the nervousness or anxiousness you may feel during dental appointments. I drove an hour from home to Dr. Klein’s office simply based on my past experiences at his previous location. 5 stars from start to finish!
By far the best dental experience I have ever had! I was seen on time, the staff was super friendly, and I would highly recommend Dr. Klein to anyone looking for a new dentist! Also, Brooke, Robyn, and Shanah were amazing! Thank you Rise and Shine Dental!!!
