Professional Gum Care

If you suffer from periodontal disease, our hygiene team can stop the progressive condition, repair damage, and deter recurrence. Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss, gum recession, and bone deterioration. It has also been linked to heart attacks, strokes, osteoporosis, and low-weight births. In the early stage, gum disease causes little or no pain, so many patients are unaware of their condition. Regular checkups and hygiene visits allow us to find gum disease in the early stage, when conservative treatment can solve your problem! We may recommend scaling to remove hardened plaque and/or root planing to smooth areas where bacteria build up. We refer advanced cases to a periodontist for specialized care.
