Gum Disease Therapy

Periodontal or gum disease happens when bacteria gets below the gum line and the attachment between the gum and tooth is lost. Three out of four Americans have some form of periodontal disease and only 3 out of 100 will ever get treated before its too late.

Gum disease is a silent, chronic, painless and communicable bacterial infection that often goes undetected or ignored until severe gum and bone destruction is unbearable and no longer able to be ignored. Left untreated, gum disease can cause tooth loss and traditional treatment can hurt.

The latest conservative gum therapy utilizes a deep scaling method. While surgery may still be indicated for severely advanced periodontal cases,periodontal root planing and scaling therapy is a much more conservative, effective and comfortable option for beginning to moderate periodontal cases.
