Periodontal Care
Periodontal care in dentistry encompasses a range of preventive and therapeutic measures to maintain the health and integrity of the gums and support structures that surround and anchor the teeth. This includes regular dental check-ups for periodontal evaluations, professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and personalized oral hygiene instructions to optimize at-home care. Periodontal care also involves diagnosing and treating gum disease, employing techniques such as scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and surgical interventions when necessary to restore gum health and prevent further damage.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PERIODONTAL CARE
- Preventing Gum Disease
- Preserving Tooth Structure
- Enhancing Overall Health
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a prevalent oral health condition characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums. It typically begins with mild gingivitis, marked by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. It can progress to more severe periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, and tooth mobility. Regular periodontal care prevents gum disease by removing plaque and tartar buildup, which harbor harmful bacteria contributing to periodontal inflammation. Contact us today to learn more!
