Gum Therapy

Periodontal (Gum) therapy, also referred to as gum disease treatment, is a specialized dental procedure for treating and managing gum disease. Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth.
Treating gum disease is important because it stops the disease from getting worse, improves bad breath, helps keep natural teeth from falling out due to bone loss, improves aesthetics, prevents future oral health issues, and enhances overall health. Research has shown a connection between gum disease and certain systemic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. By treating gum disease, you may also reduce the risk or severity of these conditions, leading to improved overall health. Periodontal therapy may involve different treatments depending on the severity of the gum disease, such as scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, or surgical interventions. Consulting with a dental professional is crucial to determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition and to ensure the best possible outcomes.
