Why Periodontal Health Matters
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, and it often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Periodontal care is essential for:
- Preventing Gum Disease – Regular checkups and cleanings help remove plaque and bacteria that cause infection.
- Managing Gum Inflammation – Early treatment can prevent minor gingivitis from progressing into advanced periodontitis.
- Preserving Tooth and Bone Structure – Healthy gums support your teeth and help maintain jawbone density.
- Enhancing Overall Health – Gum disease has been linked to conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
- Improving Smile Aesthetics – Periodontal treatments can reshape the gums for a more balanced smile.
Comprehensive Periodontal Treatments
Our dentist and team provide a range of treatments to address gum health, including:
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing) – Removes plaque and bacteria from below the gumline.
- Gum Disease Therapy – Helps control infection and restore gum health.
- Gum Grafting – Rebuilds receding gum tissue to protect exposed tooth roots.
