Gum disease can often be treated without surgery.

Pay Attention to Your Periodontal Health
According to MedlinePlus, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, about 80% of U.S. adults have some form of gum disease, ranging from gingivitis to the various forms and stages of periodontitis.  The prevalence of gum disease increases with age because teeth wear down and become more sensitive with time, gums naturally recede, and medications can affect oral health.

Warning Signs of Gum Disease
If your gums feel tender or sore, or if they look red and swollen, you might have gum disease.  Other warning signs include bleeding and/or receding gums, pain or sensitivity in your teeth (and even loose teeth caused by weakening gum fibers or bone loss), and persistent bad breath.  If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss as well as various serious health problems.

Treatment for Gum Disease
If you have any degree of gum disease, we can help you understand the best treatment option.  Gum disease used to require surgery more often than not.  While surgery is still an option and sometimes needed, many cases are now treated with less invasive techniques first, such as deep dental cleanings, local antibiotics, and special mouth rinses.

Dr. Bell and Dr. Franklin are general dentists with offices in Holly Springs and Angier that treat periodontitis or gum disease.

Today I went into this office that we have been to for almost 10 years and was again pleasantly surprised. I had chipped my front tooth, and needed it bonded. It looks as if it never happened, thanks to Dr Bell's great patience and perfectionism. Thanks for being a great office with fair pricing. Harder and harder to find these days. Love all of the dentists in this practice. Top Notch.

I went for my first visit with SFD today and being an older adult with lots of dental work I was slightly on edge starting with a new dental practice! My experience was so comfortable with their professional staff that I knew immediately that I had made a great choice! This team is efficient and thorough from the pre-visit form completion, through taking history, xrays, doing my cleaning, and the dentist’s examination. The office was beautiful and their equipment seemed like the latest tech available. I highly recommend this practice not only for older adults but what seems to be set up for patients of all ages!

I’m new to the area and was looking for a new dentist. After researching local dentists I chose to try Signature Family Dentistry and I’m glad I did! They checked all my boxes. They are friendly, thorough, and take the time to explain everything they do and what they see. So far I’ve only been for my first visit and cleaning but I feel confident that if I need any dental work they will be very efficient and thorough, keep me informed and do a great job!

Everyone I've interacted with at the Angier location is kind, knowledgeable, and takes care with everything they do. I admit to avoiding the dentist for too long because of fear and anxiety, but Dr. Franklin's bedside manner is wonderful; she explains everything clearly and speaks to you like you're an adult capable of understanding (unlike many doctors I've encountered). I'm happy to have discovered this gem right here in Angier.

Dr. Bell and her staff were wonderful. They were patient with me, also I was very concerned about losing a front tooth. She explained the options to me and assured me that I wouldn’t lose the tooth. They smoothed over the chipped place and I am considering the options she explained. I was very satisfied with my visit. They are always kind, friendly and professional. I never enjoyed dentist appointment before going to Signature Dentist .
