Periodontal treatments

If you hope to keep your teeth for a lifetime you need to have healthy gums. Your gum tissues often reveal the condition of your bone underneath. If your gums are bleeding and infected, chances are your supporting bone may be suffering too. This may result in loosening, and eventual tooth loss. Seven out of 10 people have gum disease and often don't even know it. Unfortunately, it cannot be cured, but it can be controlled with regular dental visits.

If just the gum tissues are involved, it is called Gingivitis but when the supporting bone is also infected it is known as Periodontitis. Both diseases are a result of bacteria in and around the tooth roots. If you are susceptible to gum disease, you might need to visit us for a professional cleaning every three to four months. This will help to keep the bacteria under control.
