UnderstandingtheImportanceofPeriodontalTherapy
Are you experiencing bleeding gums, bad breath, or gum tenderness? These may be early signs of gum disease. Periodontal therapy focuses on preventing, managing, and treating gum disease to protect not only your gums but the foundation of your smile.
Healthy gums are essential for healthy teeth. Gum disease begins when plaque and bacteria build up along and below the gumline, leading to inflammation, infection, and bone loss if left untreated. Periodontal therapy helps remove harmful bacteria, stop the progression of gum disease, and protect the supporting structures of your teeth, often preventing tooth loss and more complex treatment in the future.
