Periodontal Therapy
Our office places high importance on the proper diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease is one of the most commons causes of tooth loss. The foundation of a healthy mouth is the gums and the bone that support the teeth.
Periodontal disease is a painless disease that destroys the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It is an inflammation of the gums as a result of bacterial plaque and tarter(hardened plaque) that forms on your teeth.
Gingivitis is the earliest form of periodontal disease. Inflammation of the gums. If this is allowed to progress. Plaque hardens into tartar(Calculus) The Tartar or mass of bacteria causes more inflammation of the gums. The gums become red and swollen. If the destructive process is allowed to progress the bone around the tooth starts to resorb formig pockets.
