U Shine Dental Addresses Gum Disease in Alexandria with Personalized Periodontal Treatment Options

Alexandria, VA, July 08, 2025 --(PR.com)-- U Shine Dental has expanded its periodontal treatment offerings to better manage gum disease among patients in the Alexandria, Virginia area. The practice provides tailored treatment plans based on clinical needs, incorporating options such as localized antibiotic therapy, minor surgical procedures, and antimicrobial rinses.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive condition that can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss if left untreated. Treatment often involves a combination of deep cleanings and targeted therapies designed to reduce inflammation, control infection, and support tissue healing.

Leading the periodontal care at U Shine Dental is Dr. Irene Shin, DDS, who emphasizes early detection and individualized care. “Our approach focuses on preserving both oral health and overall wellness by managing gum disease before it leads to more serious complications,” said Dr. Shin.

Among the treatment options now offered:

Arestin (Minocycline HCl): A locally administered antibiotic placed into periodontal pockets during scaling and root planing.

Gingivectomy: A procedure to remove diseased gum tissue or reshape uneven gum lines for improved oral hygiene access.

Chemotherapeutic Rinses: Prescribed in certain cases to reduce microbial load, especially for patients undergoing systemic medical treatments.
