What Is Periodontal Dentistry?
Periodontal dentistry focuses on the structures that support your teeth—primarily your gums and jawbone. When plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline, they can lead to inflammation and infection, commonly known as gum disease. Left untreated, periodontal disease can result in gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss.
Our goal is to help patients maintain strong, disease-free gums through early detection, personalized treatment, and long-term maintenance strategies.
What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis is the advanced stage of gum disease, developing when early inflammation (gingivitis) is left untreated. At this stage, the infection spreads below the gumline, damaging the connective tissue and bone that support the teeth. This can result in gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss if not managed appropriately.
Because periodontitis often progresses silently, it’s critical to attend regular dental checkups and cleanings. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to halting its progression and preserving your oral health.
Common Signs of Gum Disease:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Changes in your bite or tooth alignment
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an evaluation as soon as possible.
Our Periodontal Services
Our office offers comprehensive periodontal care tailored to your individual needs:
Scaling and Root Planing
This non-surgical deep cleaning treatment removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to encourage healthy reattachment of the gums.
Periodontal Maintenance Therapy
After active treatment, we recommend regular maintenance cleanings every 3-4 months to keep gum disease under control and prevent recurrence.
Antibiotic Therapy
Localized antibiotic treatments may be used in conjunction with scaling and root planing to reduce bacterial infection and promote healing.
Referral to Periodontal Specialists
In complex or advanced cases, we may collaborate with trusted local periodontists to ensure you receive the most effective surgical care when needed.
