Periodontal care,
treating what you cannot feel.
Scaling and root planing, periodontal maintenance schedules, and ongoing therapy for adults with gum disease. The leading cause of adult tooth loss, almost always painless until it is not.
Periodontal care manages and treats the bacterial infection responsible for gum disease. It begins with thorough scaling and root planing to remove tartar and bacteria from below the gumline, followed by periodontal maintenance visits every three to four months to keep pockets stable. Advanced cases coordinate with a trusted periodontist for surgical intervention.
