Request an AppointmentUnderstanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic infection that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth. It often begins with inflammation (gingivitis) and can progress to more severe stages if untreated. Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth. Our periodontal services aim to detect these signs early and manage them effectively.
Periodontal Maintenance
After initial treatment for periodontal disease, ongoing maintenance is crucial to prevent recurrence. Periodontal maintenance involves routine cleanings that go deeper than standard dental cleanings, targeting the pockets around your teeth to remove plaque and bacteria. This service is typically recommended every 3 to 4 months depending on your individual condition.
SRP – Scaling and Root Planing
SRP, or Scaling and Root Planing, is a deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces. This treatment helps the gums reattach to the teeth and reduces pocket depths, which can slow or stop the progression of periodontal disease. It’s one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for early to moderate stages of gum disease.
