Your gums are more than a frame for your smile; they’re vital to your overall health. At SAMA Oral Health, we take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to dentistry, which means caring for the foundation of your oral wellness: periodontal health.
Gum disease can bring chronic inflammation, heart disease, and hinder immune function. The health of your gums plays a significant role in your systemic well-being. Our periodontal treatments go beyond the basics to help you heal, prevent future issues, and feel your best.

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a progressive condition that impacts the gums and the bone supporting your teeth. The condition starts with gingivitis, a mild inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. If left untreated, this can advance to periodontitis, where the infection spreads deeper beneath the gumline, causing gum recession, bone and tooth loss.
Common signs of periodontal disease include:
Periodontal disease is especially concerning because of its link to systemic health. Research has shown strong associations between gum disease and conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. That’s why, at SAMA, we treat gum health not as an isolated issue but as part of total wellness.
Periodontal treatment benefits those with advanced gum disease more than those with advanced gum disease. This deep cleaning or surgical intervention protects long-term oral and overall health.
If you’re dealing with any of the signs of gum disease or have some factors that increase your risk, consider routine checkups and early treatment. These factors can include genetics, smoking, diabetes, chronic stress, and poor oral hygiene. Even if you’re not showing obvious symptoms, a thorough periodontal evaluation can help us catch and treat issues before they become more serious.
At SAMA, our periodontal treatments are designed to be thorough, personalized, and as gentle as possible. We focus on stopping the progression of gum disease, restoring gum health, and supporting your overall wellness with integrative care.
Here’s what treatment may include:
We begin with a detailed assessment of your gums, bone levels, and supporting tissues using advanced tools like digital X-rays and periodontal charting. This allows us to identify the severity of any disease and create a tailored care plan.
This non-surgical treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces, allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth.
For some instances, laser dental treatment may target infected tissue with greater precision, less discomfort, and minimal downtime.
After active treatment, we schedule regular cleanings to maintain gum health and prevent recurrence. This is especially important for patients with a history of gum disease.
At every stage, our goal is to provide you with a comfortable, spa-like experience while delivering the most effective care possible.
At SAMA, we believe gum care should be precise, personalized, and comfortable. Dr. Randhawa brings years of advanced surgical training and a deep understanding of whole-body health to every treatment.
