Periodontal Treatments In Pensacola, FL

Home » Periodontal Therapy » Periodontal Treatments In Pensacola, FL

Having great oral health goes beyond taking care of your teeth; it also includes caring for your gums. What many people don’t realize is how at risk their gums may be to bacterial infections and the lasting consequences of these infections. Gum disease can have a negative impact on your oral and overall health.

At Taylor Dental, we engineer treatments that cater to your every dental need. To provide an all-encompassing service, we work to spot gum disease early and have treatments in place to reverse the effects of the infection.

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that damages the soft tissue of your mouth. This soft tissue is what holds your teeth in place, so compromised gums can lead to problems such as loose teeth or even complete tooth loss. If left untreated, Periodontitis can destroy the bone that supports your teeth and keep them stabilized.

This gum disease may sound far-fetched, but it’s a very common occurrence. It’s very preventable, so most cases don’t progress to the point where teeth are lost. However, it’s still important to watch for this disease so that it doesn’t begin to eat away at your gums. Indicators that your gums may be infected include redness and swelling. Healthy gums are firm and pink, so if they are a darker hue than normal, this may be a sign that you are in the early stages of Periodontitis.

The best way to prevent gum disease is to maintain a great oral healthcare routine that consists of brushing at least twice a day and flossing often. Typically, patients who are diagnosed with Periodontitis exhibit poor dental hygiene that leads to infection. However, there are also patients who may be predisposed to Periodontitis for one of the following reasons:

  • Genetics: Heredity is one of the most common causes of periodontal disease. Some patients are genetically predisposed to harbor bacteria that lead to infection.
  • Medications: Some prescription drugs, such as antidepressants and certain oral contraceptives, cause dry mouth. Since there is a decrease in the production of saliva, dental plaque is more likely to develop.
  • Stress: When the body is under stress, your overall health and immune system are weakened.
  • Hormones: Sudden fluctuations in hormones can lead to changes in your oral health. Some patients experience an increase in gum disease during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
  • Tobacco: Smoking or the use of tobacco products is a primary risk factor for periodontal disease. Not only does tobacco cause plaque and tartar to build faster, but it also decreases healing capacity.
  • Bruxism: Grinding or clenching your teeth places additional stress on your teeth and the surrounding tissues. If you already have gingivitis or gum disease, bruxism can worsen the symptoms.
  • Poor Diet: Good nutrition is vital for overall oral and physical health. Patients who eat a diet high in carbohydrates and sugar have a greater chance of developing tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Disease: Certain diseases contribute to a higher risk factor for periodontal diseases, such as diabetes, HIV, or rheumatoid arthritis, among others.

I can’t say enough good things about Taylor Dental! From the moment you walk in, Caroline, Ashley, and Hannah at the front desk make you feel genuinely welcomed and at ease. Brenda Rigney, my hygienist, is absolutely amazing — she’s thorough, gentle, and always takes the time to make sure I’m comfortable and informed.

Dr. Lablanc is an outstanding dentist. His professionalism and calm demeanor always put me at ease, and I truly trust him with my care. His assistants, Que and Cat, are top-notch — efficient, friendly, and always on point.

The entire team at Taylor Dental makes going to the dentist something I actually look forward to. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words! We're so happy to hear that your experience with our team has been a positive one. We strive to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for everyone who walks through our doors, and it's wonderful to know that effort is felt. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Brandi R.
We have been coming to Taylor for years and always have a great experience but today was a little different.

For whatever reason, my five year old daughter was more anxious than normal and Chrissy was our hygienist. This was our first time seeing this specific hygienist, and she took the experience from great to phenomenal.

She had excellent communication with her, and spoke to her in an appropriate five-year-old way. She allowed her to be her “assistant” and was very hands-on. She made the experience wonderful and we were able to complete everything that needed to be done.

As always, we would recommend Taylor to anyone that ask and thank y’all for being so good with your team members!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in our team! We're especially glad to hear that your recent visit was such a positive experience. It's always our goal to create a supportive, welcoming environment for patients of all ages, and we're thrilled to know it made a difference. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to continuing to care for your family for years to come!

After going to the same place for over 15 years, I felt it was time for a change. So glad I did it. The vibe at Taylor Dental is warm and inviting. Not cold and dr like. Everyone acted like family. The chairs have heat and massage! Such a nice touch! My hygienist, Tempest, was awesome! So professional and did such a great job. The doctor was awesome too. Kind and professional and thorough. If you are looking to make a change, don't walk...run to Taylor Dental.
