Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal Therapy Done The Right Way
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection in the gum tissue around your teeth. It is caused by a build-up of plaque, tartar, and bacteria that creeps below the gum line. Periodontitis is the second stage that occurs if gingivitis is not resolved. Periodontitis occurs when the plaque and bacteria have been left under the gum line long enough to create toxins and bone loss around the teeth. Not only is periodontal disease one of the leading causes of tooth loss but it also has a negative effect on your entire body. The treatment for early-stage periodontal disease is called scaling and root planing. More advanced periodontal disease is usually treated by a gum specialist or periodontist and often involves surgery. You may have treatment for periodontal disease if…
- Your gums are getting smaller
- Wiggly or shifting teeth
- Red, swollen gums
