Periodontal Therapy

You wake up in the morning you look in the mirror and you see that there is something wrong. You don’t know what it is but you know it’s different. It’s not the hair because that is always messy; it’s not the pimple on your forehead because that has been there for ages so you look at your mouth…it’s your gums! They are swollen and bleeding! This means you have periodontal disease (gum disease). Not only is this disease destructive to your oral health but it is destructive to your general health as well. Gum disease is essentially the breakdown of the body structures that support your teeth and gums.

The sooner you can be treated with hygiene therapy by our hygienist, the better. Not only does periodontal disease damage your teeth and supporting structures it has been linked to premature births, miscarriages, diabetes, heart disease and weakened immune systems because it is a chronic bacterial infection. Not everybody likes to come for their 6 month check up so our hygienists with customize a treatment for you.
