What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal (gum) disease is a general term for a build-up of bacteria and inflammation of the gum line. Typically speaking, gum disease can be caused by poor oral care routines, skipping dental appointments, genetics, advanced age, or chronic illness.

If your gum disease is left untreated, you could be at a higher risk for developing the following conditions:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Premature Or Low-Weight Babies

Gum Disease Treatment

Although gum disease can evolve into a serious health condition if left untreated, our team has the right tools, technologies, and know-how to stop periodontal disease in its track and help restore your gums to a healthy condition. We offer the following periodontal treatments:

Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Scaling and root planing (SRP) is one of the most common procedures for treating gingivitis by deep cleaning below the gum line and smoothing the surface of the tooth. Scaling and root planing removes plaque, bacteria, and acid buildup that can cause gum inflammation.

A simple SRP helps to restore and promote healthier teeth, gums, and overall oral health while also preventing all stages of gum disease.

Laser Gum Treatments

Laser treatments are also preferred by most patients because they are generally faster and more comfortable than conventional and surgical gum treatments.
