Periodontics (Gum Care)

Overview

Healthy gums are essential to overall oral health. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an infection that can lead to tooth loss and other health issues if left untreated. We provide comprehensive gum evaluations and therapies to restore gum health.

Treatments

• Scaling and root planing – Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline.

• Antibacterial treatments – Localized antibiotics or rinses to reduce infection.

• Maintenance cleanings – More frequent visits to prevent recurrence of gum disease.

Signs of Gum Disease

• Red, swollen or bleeding gums

• Persistent bad breath

• Receding gum line

• Loose teeth

FAQ

Can gum disease be cured? Early stages (gingivitis) can often be reversed. Advanced periodontitis requires ongoing management to control.
