Periodontal and Advanced Periodontal Treatments
Periodontal disease is when the bone around the teeth breaks down, causing tooth mobility and sensitivity. Bone loss is permanent and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal disease can also be associated with heart disease, stroke, lung disease, arthritis and premature births.
Untreated gingivitis can progress into periodontal disease. Our treatment for periodontal disease includes immediate hygiene care which includes therapeutic ultrasonic scaling, irrigation of medicament to suppress activity of bacteria, laser therapy and a take-home rinse.
Our dental hygienists will help to make your gums healthy by treating them with gingivitis or periodontal therapy.
If bacteria or infection has occurred, serious treatment is necessary with advanced periodontal disease. We offer a minimally invasive treatment called LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure). Call for details.
Gingivitis is Reversible
A common form of gum disease that causes redness, swelling, bleeding and tenderness of the gums is called gingivitis. Gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment. The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene.
If you continue to keep up with good oral hygiene and come in for regular dental appointments, gingivitis and further developed periodontal disease can be avoided.
