Gum Care

If left untreated, however, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition that causes irreversible destruction of the bone and tissues that support your teeth. Periodontitis, alongside tooth decay, is a leading cause of adult tooth loss. Furthermore, the bacteria and inflammation associated with periodontal disease do not stay confined to the mouth; studies have linked untreated gum disease to serious systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. To address mild to moderate gum disease, our team provides a non-surgical deep cleaning called scaling and root planing. During this treatment, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from deep within the periodontal pockets below the gumline and smooth the rough areas of the dental roots to prevent bacteria from recolonizing. By combining precise clinical treatments with personalized home care guidance, we help stop the progression of gum disease and protect your overall well-being.
