Periodontal Care
The foundation of a healthy smile is good periodontal health. We treat gum disease at all stages to protect your teeth.
The foundation of a healthy smile is good periodontal health. Your gums play a critical role in supporting your teeth and protecting the underlying bone. At Dental Corner, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to treat gum disease at all stages and help you maintain optimal gum health.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a progressive condition that begins with gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums, and can advance to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Early detection and treatment are essential to prevent permanent damage.
Our periodontal treatments include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to promote healing. We also offer ongoing maintenance programs to keep gum disease under control after initial treatment.
Prevention is the best approach to periodontal health. Regular dental cleanings, good home care habits, and routine check-ups allow us to catch and address gum problems before they progress. If you notice any signs of gum disease, such as bleeding when you brush or persistent bad breath, contact us for an evaluation.
