Periodontal Treatment
Effective Care for Gum Health
Periodontal treatment focuses on addressing issues related to the gums and surrounding tissues of the teeth. Common signs that you might need treatment include swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and loose teeth. If left untreated, periodontal problems can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.
The treatment usually begins with a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This process, known as scaling and root planing, helps to smooth the root surfaces and make it easier for the gums to reattach. Depending on the severity of the condition, additional procedures may be necessary, including more intensive cleaning or surgical interventions.
Our approach aims to restore your gum health and maintain it over the long term. We provide personalized care, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term prevention. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings are essential for managing and preventing periodontal issues effectively.
