About Bickler Dentistry

Bickler Dentistry operates on Ramsgate Square South in the Faye Wright area of Salem, Oregon. 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.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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.

What services does Bickler Dentistry offer?
Listed services at Bickler Dentistry include Gum Disease Treatment. The full list is shown on this page.
Is gum disease reversible?
The early stage, gingivitis, is reversible with thorough cleaning and better daily plaque control. Once it has progressed to periodontitis and bone around the teeth has been lost, that bone does not grow back — treatment then aims to halt further loss.
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, redness and puffiness along the gumline, and persistent bad breath are the usual first indicators. Bleeding is the one most often dismissed, and it is the clearest early warning.
How can I look after my teeth between appointments?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth daily covers most of it. Limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount consumed.

I had a great experience at this Dr Bickler's office. Hillary the hygienist was thorough, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately put me at ease. Dr Bickler was equally professional and attentive, addressing my questions without rushing and making sure I felt comfortable with everything. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, and the visit felt efficient while still being very personal. I genuinely left feeling well cared for and confident in the quality of care I received. I highly recommend Bickler Detistry.

A dog ate my dentures! I was so upset when I called this office and the receptionist was so kind! I had a very flexible schedule and was able to get an appointment very fast. Through the entire process of getting new dentures made the entire staff was very informative, kind and just really great. The dentist and his assistant are great at their professions! I was able to pick out the color and style of my new teeth. The process was actually kinda fun. Bickler really loves and takes pride in his work and it shows! If I ever need new dentures again I will come here, I highly recommend this place! Plus you can tell everyone here are just really good people. My new smile is amazing and fits perfectly. I'm a very happy customer!

I had to have a crown put on a tooth that was causing some pain. Heather was able to get scheduled very quickly and I like that Dr. Bickler has the ability to make crowns SAME DAY!!! His assistant Sandra was so sweet and helped me relax during the procedure.
