Periodontal (Gum) Therapy

The main cause of periodontal disease or gum disease is bacteria in the form of plaque that is constantly forming on your teeth.  Other factors such as smoking and systemic health problems like diabetes can worsen this condition.  Regular cleanings and good oral hygiene habits are the best ways to prevent this disease.  Once the disease is present, periodontal therapy including scaling and root planing of these affected tooth root surfaces and localized antibiotic placement can treat and prevent the progression of the disease.  Our team can evaluation your unique situation and help determine your treatment options.
