Find Out How Periodontal Therapy Can Help You

Periodontal therapy helps you by stopping gum disease before it causes lasting harm. Gum disease starts when germs build up along your gumline. Over time, these germs form a sticky film called plaque. If plaque stays on your teeth too long, it hardens into tartar. This can cause your gums can become red, puffy, and sore.

Brushing alone can’t remove tartar. Even a professional cleaning can’t remove it if it gets below the gumline. That is where a deep cleaning comes in. At our general dental office, your deep cleaning may involve:

  • Scaling – We gently clear away plaque and tartar from above and below your gumline.
  • Root Planing – We smooth the roots of your teeth so germs have a harder time sticking to them. Smooth roots also help your gums heal and form a strong seal with your teeth again.

You’ll likely feel a big difference after treatment. Your gums won’t bleed when you brush, and your breath smells better. Your teeth feel cleaner and more secure. Best of all, treating gum disease early can save you from bigger problems later, like loose teeth or tooth loss.
