Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth and often leads to tooth loss. Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth) causes the gums to become inflamed.
We all know that the best campaign against gum disease is one of prevention and early detection. However, if for some reason you've not had the dental care necessary and you are in the early stages of periodontal disease, we have the services needed to treat it and educate you against further progression. We have special ultrasonic scalers proven to clean more thoroughly than manual techniques alone. We apply special periodontal therapy wherever indicated. And for advanced cases, we can refer you to a periodontal specialist to ensure all the disease is treated and any damaged tissue dealt with properly. Our gum care services include:
If you have persistent swollen, red or bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, or bad breath, you may be experiencing the early stages of gum disease. If you have any of these symptoms of periodontal disease, take action to protect your gums and your health.
