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.
The best dental experience ever from the time I walked through the door until it was time to leave. The staff is absolutely amazing, very thorough, comforting, and made sure to let me know step by step what was going on during my appointment. They take their time, nothing is rushed and that let me know they truly care about my dental health. This was my first time at this office and I can say I have found the dentist home for me.
My visit as a new patient was top tier!! The customer service and the professionalism in this office was the best. Dasia took my X-rays and pictures of my teeth. She was very kind, communicative and made me feel welcomed. Crystal was my dental hygienist. She took her time and was very thorough. She provided me with education regarding my treatment plan and was able to give feedback based on my current regimen. I saw Dr. Evans for my exam and she was very thorough and pleasant. Everyone made me feel welcomed at this office. It was a very clean environment. This has been the best dental experience I’ve had. I can’t wait to return!
Love love love this dental office… The staff are very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I love the warm feeling you get upon arrival… The office and equipment is state of the art… Ten STARS!
I love being a patient here! The office is very nice and clean. The staff is amazing! They were extremely kind, patient, and generous when I brought my 91 year old grandma there for some dental work. I highly recommend!
I have been coming to this practice for about 2-3 years, and I have always had a great experience from the receptionist, whether it’s when I call or when I arrive in person. All the support staff and Dr. Jarrett and the other dentists are wonderful. Plus, the office smells great and looks fabulous. So, if you are looking for a new dental practice, call for an appointment!
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.
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!!
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!
Great experience. Very personable staff. Relatable, and when it was time to get down to work, they did…and in a competent fashion!
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!
