About Arrowhead Periodontics

Arrowhead Periodontics is a dental practice on North 79th Avenue in Glendale, Arizona. Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.

Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

Can gum disease make you lose teeth?
Yes — advanced gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It destroys the bone and fibres holding teeth in place, which is why teeth eventually loosen, and it usually progresses without pain.
Why do my gums bleed even though I brush twice a day?
Bleeding usually reflects where you are cleaning rather than how often. Plaque left along the gumline and between teeth causes inflammation there, which is exactly the area brushing alone tends to miss, so flossing or interdental brushes matter.
When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Kumar and the team at Arrowhead Periodontics. I came in for a second opinion on a gum graft, and the difference in care compared to my first consultation elsewhere was night and day. Dr. Kumar assessed my entire mouth, not just the problem area, measuring gum health and recession throughout. He took the time to walk me through the specific technique and stitches he'd use. He even showed me exactly how to brush around the sensitive areas. He also explained that a frenectomy I'd been told I needed as a separate surgery could actually be done during the same procedure as the graft, which saved me an extra surgery, recovery, and cost (I saved almost 3K!!!!! even with IV anesthesia for procedure) The whole team was patient, answered every question thoroughly, and clearly takes the time to make sure patients feel informed and at ease before a procedure. Even small touches, like being told I could bring my own pillow or blanket for the appointment, showed how much they think about patient comfort. Highly recommend if you want a periodontist who is thorough, communicative, and genuinely cares about getting it right.

Very unfortunate experience here. My husband was referred by our dentist, who is hands down the best dentist in the business, and she generally only refers us to very high caliber providers. But if you are coming here, make sure to call well in advance of your procedure in order to financially plan for payment and basically do their job for them. This office will NOT proactively communicate any changes to the established treatment plan and insurance, but they will turn around and demand a payment thousands of dollars above the plan they previously told you about, and they’ll do it as a surprise on the day of your procedure. Incredibly disappointed in their lack of consideration, proactiveness, and general preparedness. I expect more from professionals. You can find a better provider.

This was my first visit to see Dr. Kimble and staff. I was referred by my dentist as my previous periodontist had moved back to CA to be near family. I definitely like the experience I had with Dr. Kimble and his staff. I was given detailed information on my teeth plus on the implant procedure. I left with a treatment plan. Very thorough and professional. Thank you, Dr. Kimble. 😊

Dr. Kimble is very kind and has a great sense of humor. He made me feel at ease even though I was nervous about getting a dental implant. Previously, I had a bad experience with another dental surgeon. Everything went well and I’m very happy with the results. Also, their staff is wonderful! They are friendly and knowledgeable.

My own dentist sent me to Dr. Kimble for his professional assessment. The staff was friendly and prompt. Dr. Kimble was thorough and gave me 3 alternatives to solve my problem. Thank you all for being kind and caring.
