Gum Disease Treatment in Valley Village, CA
Nearly half of American adults have gum disease — and most don’t know it. Dr. Babrood, DDS, FICD, a Fellow of the International College of Dentistry, treats periodontal disease with ozone therapy and whole-body protocols. Call 818-766-7776.
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the tissues supporting your teeth. It begins as gingivitis — inflammation of the gum tissue — and progresses to periodontitis, where bacteria destroy the bone and connective tissue holding teeth in place. According to the CDC, 47.2 percent of U.S. adults over 30 have some form of periodontal disease.
What most dentists don’t tell their patients: gum disease is not just a mouth problem. The chronic bacterial infection and inflammatory response it triggers are directly linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Treating gum disease is treating your whole body.
Signs of Gum Disease
Stages of Gum Disease
Gum disease progresses in stages. Early diagnosis dramatically improves outcome and reduces treatment complexity.
Gingivitis: Inflammation limited to the gum tissue. Fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. No bone loss has occurred.
Early periodontitis: Bacterial infection has begun affecting the bone supporting the teeth. Pockets (gaps between tooth and gum) deepen to 4–5mm. Treatable with scaling and root planing plus antimicrobial therapy.
Moderate periodontitis: Significant bone loss, pocket depths of 5–7mm. Requires more intensive treatment, possibly including surgical intervention. Tooth mobility may begin.
Severe periodontitis: Extensive bone loss, pocket depths 7mm or greater, significant tooth mobility. Tooth loss risk is high without aggressive intervention.
OUR APPROACH
Three pillars of holistic periodontal care.
01
Ozone therapy
Ozone gas eliminates 99% of the bacteria driving gum disease on contact — without antibiotics, without resistance, without systemic side effects.
02
Scaling & root planing
Deep cleaning below the gum line to remove bacterial deposits and smooth root surfaces — eliminating the environment bacteria need to survive.
03
Nutritional support
Vitamin C, CoQ10, and omega-3 supplementation support gum tissue repair. We treat the inflammation systemically, not just locally.

Routine cleanings and exams are the first line of defense against gum disease progression.
Why Choose Rite Dentist for Gum Disease Treatment?
Most dental offices treat gum disease with antibiotics and scaling alone. At Rite Dentist, we ask what’s driving the infection. Nutritional deficiencies, systemic inflammation, dry mouth from sleep apnea, stress-related immune suppression — all are common contributors that conventional dentistry ignores. Dr. Babrood — FICD, IAOMT certified, USC trained, and a San Fernando Valley Dental Society board member — treats gum disease as the whole-body condition it is.
“The bacteria in a gum pocket don’t stay in the pocket. They enter your bloodstream. This is not a mouth-only problem.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum disease?
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection of the tissues supporting your teeth. It begins with gingivitis — red, swollen, bleeding gums — and progresses to periodontitis, which destroys the bone and connective tissue holding teeth in place. According to the CDC, 47.2 percent of American adults over 30 have some form of periodontal disease.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis (early gum disease) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis cannot be fully reversed — lost bone does not regenerate without surgical intervention — but it can be managed to prevent further progression. Early treatment dramatically improves outcomes.
Is gum disease linked to heart disease?
Yes. Research published in the Journal of Periodontology and multiple cardiovascular studies shows that severe periodontitis is associated with a 2 to 3 times higher risk of cardiovascular events. The mechanism is twofold: oral bacteria directly enter the bloodstream through inflamed gum tissue, and chronic oral infection drives systemic inflammatory markers that damage blood vessels.
What is ozone therapy for gum disease?
Ozone therapy uses ozone gas (O3) to kill the bacteria causing gum disease on contact — without antibiotics. Studies show ozone eliminates up to 99 percent of cavity- and periodontal-disease-causing bacteria instantly, without creating antibiotic resistance or harming surrounding healthy tissue. At Rite Dentist, ozone is used as a complement to scaling and root planing for more effective bacterial elimination.
How often should I come in if I have gum disease?
Patients with active or history of periodontitis typically require periodontal maintenance visits every 3 to 4 months rather than the standard 6-month cleaning schedule. More frequent monitoring allows us to track pocket depths, address bacterial recolonization before it causes damage, and reinforce home care habits that slow progression.
