It is extremely important to note that periodontal disease can progress without any signs or symptoms such as pain. This is why regular dental checkups are exceptionally important. Described below are some of the most common signs and symptoms of periodontitis.
If you have any of these signs or symptoms, the advice of a general dentist or periodontist should be sought as soon as possible:
It’s imperative to stop the progression of periodontal disease before it causes further damage to the gum tissues and jawbone. Our dentist will initially assess your whole mouth to ascertain the progress of the disease. When a diagnosis has been made, Dr. Jarrett Manning may treat the bacterial infection with antibiotics in conjunction with nonsurgical or surgical treatment or both.
In the case of moderate periodontal disease, the pockets (under the gumline) of the teeth will be completely cleared of debris using a procedure called scaling and root planing. The pockets may be filled with antibiotics to promote good healing and kill any bacteria that remain.
If you have any further questions about the signs and symptoms of periodontal disease, please ask your dentist.
Dr. Manning is phenomenal and extremely ethical. She repaired work that another dentist did when she could have told me I required the work to be completely redone as another dentist did. Her office is inviting. Her staff is kind, professional, and efficient. She’s def the only dentist I’ll see going forward. I also love Crystal her hygienist. Overall, this is an ethical and high-quality practice that provides the highest standards of care.
Switched to JLM Dental Studio from a prior local Smyrna dentist office several years ago. JLM’s office location is welcoming and organized. Bright environment, exceptionally designed. You don’t expect a dentist office to have a fun “vibe”, right? They captured one.
Dr. Jarrett is my primary dentist. I’ve gone through multiple treatment services, fillings, extraction, general cleaning, and recently Invisalign. I don’t question what treatments are recommended nor do I feel I’ve ever received unnecessary services for a cash grab. Dr. Jarrett focuses on overall oral health education vs vanity. Dr. Mel is equally a great addition to the team. Can’t go wrong either way. Pleased with my experiences which include multiple referrals. Grade A!
I love this dentistry office!! Dr. Manning and her staff are so professional. Very thorough and the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office!! They have me as a patient for life!!
Dr. Manning is a very knowledgeable, professional, and caring dentist. She has a great patient-interaction manner. I am thrilled that Star is back. The front office staff is very professional. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Manning’s for 4 years. I am a VERY satisfied patient.
Dr. Jarrett and her staff are amazing! I had a problem with my crown twice and without hesitation they got me and took care of the problem! I especially want to let people know that Tiffany is phenomenal! Her customer service skills make you so comfortable! Thanks again for such great service! I highly recommend JLM Dentistry.
I absolutely love my dentist’s office. From the front desk, the hygienist (Crystal), and Dr. Jarrett, I am in total peace every time. Anytime you sleep when you are getting your teeth cleaned or cavities filled, that surely speaks to the magnitude of comfort, trust, and ambiance in the office. Thank you JLM Dental Studio.
I’m never a huge fan of going to the dentist (not sure who is), but JLM Dental Studios was amazing. It was easy to book my first appointment, the office was extremely clean and quiet, and the staff were all very welcoming and professional. I will definitely be making JLM my dentist’s office moving forward.
Very professional! From check-in to service, everything was wonderful. As a professional in the medical field, the experience was wonderful! Thank you to Amenia and Dr. Evans.
Crystal did an awesome job on my cleaning! The exam was the most thorough I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!
My visit today at JLM dental studios was pleasant. The front office staff (Monica) is friendly & polite. Monica went above & beyond trying to get my appt. rescheduled when there was a cancellation. Teanna the hygienist assistant was kind & helpful with explaining the modern tech the office has to offer. Crystal the hygienist is sweet & patient care oriented. Highly recommend!!
Crystal C. is so awesome. She explained in detail what I need to do to get back on track with my treatment plan… Thank you for your talent and expertise!!
Dr. Evans is very thorough and explains every step. It’s always a great experience at JLM.
First, let me say that I appreciate the design of this office. It’s super chic and glam! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I get extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist, but the assistants and hygienist were gentle and patient with me. My dentist was not Dr. Jarrett as she was fully booked but the other dentist was very friendly and helpful. I did, however, get botox injections from Dr. Jarrett, and she was amazing and quick with the procedure. I can’t wait to return. Can’t believe I said that about a dentist’s office.
Lovely and pleasant experience. Friendly and informative staff. Came in for a deep cleaning and filling and didn’t feel a thing. I definitely will be coming back!
Dr. Evans and her assistant did an outstanding job on my root canal. Believe it or not, it was an overall pleasant experience.
Great experience. Very personable staff. Relatable, and when it was time to get down to work, they did…and in a competent fashion!
My experience today was great. First time seeing Dr. Evans, and she was amazing. I look forward to getting my mouth together. Thank you & Merry Christmas!
Very professional, thorough, and friendly office! I really like the hygiene and covid safety protocols, the friendly staff, the thorough cleaning, and the billing explanation. The staff (Monique), as well as Ginny, were very nice! This dentist’s office makes me have less trepidation about coming to the dentist. Thank you!
Dr. Evans took VERY good care of me! Actually, the entire staff is great! Thank you, Dr. Manning!
Dr. Evans was very great and professional. I never used to like going to the dentist, but she made me enjoy my visit such that I wish I could visit over and over again.
The visit was exciting and informational. One of the best visits I’ve had. Dr. Evans was professional and effective!
My experience was great! Very professional and I had peace for the entire process. Thank you, Dr. Evans!!
