By examining how oral health affects overall health and well-being, we focus on treating the whole person, not just teeth. When creating your personalized treatment plan, we consider factors like general health, diet, and lifestyle.

Biological periodontics is a gentle, whole-body approach to treating gum disease. It focuses on the connection between oral health and overall well-being. Instead of just treating symptoms, biological periodontics accounts for factors like diet, lifestyle, and general health and how they impact teeth and gums.
Our Dentistry By Design team uses natural, biocompatible treatments that work with your body’s healing abilities to help restore healthy gums without harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. When you address the root cause of gum disease, biological periodontics promotes long-lasting oral health and overall wellness in an effective and safe way for your body.
Gum disease doesn’t only affect your mouth—it can wreak havoc on your entire body. Bacteria from infected gums can enter your bloodstream and potentially lead to serious health concerns like heart disease, respiratory problems, Alzheimer’s, select cancers in men, and even pregnancy complications.
When you choose Dentistry By Design for your regular checkups, periodontal maintenance, and professional cleanings, we can help prevent gum disease and protect your oral and overall health!
Simple changes, such as quitting tobacco, brushing and flossing regularly, and visiting our team in Midwest City, OK, for regular checkups, can prevent gum disease.
While age and genetics are out of our control, our team can offer guidance on managing conditions like diabetes, osteoporosis, and vitamin deficiencies that could affect your gum health. We can also provide helpful tips for managing bruxism (teeth grinding) and stress to help you maintain a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime!
Biological periodontics focuses on diagnosing and treating gum disease while considering how periodontal health may relate to overall health. Treatment is designed to control infection, support healthy gum tissue, and preserve the natural teeth whenever possible.
Biological periodontal care may place additional emphasis on minimally invasive treatment, biocompatible materials, reducing bacterial burden, and supporting the body’s natural healing response while still addressing the underlying causes of gum disease.
Common signs include bleeding or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, tenderness, or changes in the way your teeth fit together. Some periodontal disease can progress without obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental evaluations are important.
Research has identified associations between periodontal inflammation and several systemic health conditions. Treating gum disease helps reduce inflammation and infection in the mouth and supports better overall oral health.
In some cases, periodontal treatment can stabilize the gums and bone surrounding compromised teeth. Whether a tooth can be preserved depends on the severity of bone loss, infection, mobility, and other clinical factors.
Treatment recommendations depend on the individual patient and the severity of periodontal disease. Care may include deep periodontal cleaning, infection management, regenerative approaches, ongoing periodontal maintenance, and other therapies designed to restore healthier gums and supporting structures.
