Gum Health Matters – And We’re Here to Help

Gum disease might sound scary, but don’t worry—we’ve got you. At Baymeadows Park Dental, we take your gum health seriously because healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Did you know that gum disease is actually the #1 cause of tooth loss in adults? It’s also been linked to heart disease and strokes. The good news? You can take steps right now to stay ahead of it—and we’ll help every step of the way.

There’s Nothing Like Your Natural Teeth

While dental implants are a great option when needed, there’s still nothing quite like your own natural teeth. That’s why we’re passionate about helping you keep them for life. With the right care and some simple daily habits, you can protect your teeth and gums for the long haul.

What We Do (and How We Keep It Comfortable)

Our amazing hygiene team is highly trained and focused on catching and treating gum issues early. We offer gentle deep cleanings (also called scaling and root planing), personalized home-care tips, and regular maintenance to help you stay on track. We also use modern tools like 3D imaging and digital charting to keep an eye on your gum health over time—no guesswork here!

Dr. Franklin Rios has received advanced training in periodontics from Dr. Sam Low and Dr. Gregg Oxford and is certified by the Academy of Laser Dentistry. He focuses on conservative, minimally invasive treatment approaches to help restore and protect your gum health with care and precision.

We’ll Teach You Everything You Need to Know

You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’ll show you how to use today’s best tools—like electric toothbrushes, floss picks, and water flossers—to make your routine easy and effective. Our team takes the time to explain what’s going on in a way that’s simple and stress-free.

We Keep Things Real (and Reassuring)

Bleeding gums, bad breath, or a little sensitivity? Those might be early signs that your gums need some love. And that’s okay—you're not alone, and it's more common than you think. We’re not here to judge—we’re here to help you feel better and keep your smile strong.
