Periodontal Care (Scaling and Root Planing)

Protecting Your Gums and Overall Health

Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile and essential for maintaining overall oral health. We specialize in comprehensive periodontal care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease, ensuring the longevity of your teeth and a healthier you.

Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It typically begins with gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed when brushing or flossing. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually, tooth loss.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding while brushing or flossing
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pus between the teeth and gums
