What is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease to protect the health of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Gum disease begins with plaque and bacteria accumulating around the gumline, which can lead to inflammation, bleeding gums, bad breath, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may include deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), improved home care, and ongoing periodontal maintenance. Our goal is to eliminate infection, promote healthy gums, and help you maintain your natural teeth for as long as possible.
