Fight Back Against Gum Disease
Periodontal Care
Gum disease affects more than half of all American adults, and proper periodontal care is required to reverse and treat gum disease, and protect your mouth from permanent damage. The first stage of gum disease, known as “gingivitis” is completely reversible, but if your gum disease progresses past this stage, the health of your gums and teeth will be permanently affected.
The most common periodontal treatment is scaling and root planing (also known as a deep cleaning). This involves using special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from between your teeth and gums, eliminating the bacteria that are attacking your gums and teeth. Antibiotics treatments may also be used to help control the infection.
