Gum Disease
In the earliest stage of gum disease or gingivitis, your infection can be easily treated with thorough professional cleanings and debridement procedures.
Periodontitis
When left untreated, gingivitis can lead to the development of a more serious form of periodontal disease, periodontitis.
Treatment
Stable periodontal health needs be achieved in the least invasive and most cost-effective manner.
Maintenance
After achieving periodontal stability, the chronic condition is controlled with quality home care, along with professional hygiene care.
Effects On Overall Health
The main cause of periodontal (gum) disease is dental plaque, but other factors affect the health of your gums by modifying how your body responds to the presence of plaque and bacteria.
Systemic Effects
You may believe that gum disease only affects your smile, but that is not the case.
Symptoms & Risk Factors
One day your gums are inflamed and tender, and the next, they’re bleeding when you brush or floss.
Scaling Root Planing
When addressed early on, gum disease treatment does not have to include surgery.
