Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease is a serious problem that can have negative effects on your health. We can diagnose your gum disease and assist you in moving towards a healthier self.

Periodontal dental care is crucial for maintaining the health of your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. As you age, you become more susceptible to gum disease, making it essential to pay close attention to your periodontal health. Regular brushing and flossing are your first line of defense against plaque buildup, which can lead to gingivitis and more severe forms of periodontal disease. It’s important to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle circular motions to clean along the gumline, where bacteria tend to accumulate.

In addition to your at-home care routine, professional periodontal treatments are vital for keeping your gums in top condition. We may recommend scaling and root planing to remove tartar below the gumline and smooth out rough spots on tooth roots where bacteria gather. We might also suggest antimicrobial treatments or, in more advanced cases, surgical interventions to restore damaged gum tissue. Remember, your commitment to periodontal health not only preserves your smile but also contributes to your overall well-being, as gum disease has been linked to various systemic health issues.
