Periodontal disease “gum disease” can affect millions of Americans. It is usually a painless infection of the gum tissues surrounding and supporting teeth which can lead to tooth loss in adults if not properly taken care of.
Our solution: we have found the most effective and interceptive treatment is to perform scaling and root plaining (deep cleaning above and below the gum line).
Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease: bleeding, swollen or tender gums, bad breath that doesn't go away, loose teeth, pus between your teeth and gums, or a change in the way your teeth fit together. Early symptoms of minor Periodontal Disease can easily be treated at our dental office. More serious forms of Periodontal Disease may require referral to a specialist.
