Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy is the treatment of gum disease, an infection of the tissues that support and surround your teeth. When plaque and tartar build up below the gumline, they can cause inflammation, bleeding, and over time, bone and tooth loss. Treatment ranges from deep cleanings that remove buildup beneath the gums to ongoing maintenance that keeps the infection from returning. By caring for your gums early and thoroughly, we help you keep your natural teeth healthy and your smile strong for years to come.
