At St. Paul Family Dental Centre, we emphasize the importance of healthy gums as the foundation of a strong smile. Periodontal therapy involves treatments designed to prevent and manage gum disease, ensuring that your gums remain healthy and supportive of your teeth.
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It’s typically caused by plaque buildup and can lead to inflammation, bleeding gums, and, in severe cases, tooth loss if not treated promptly.
Our Periodontal Treatment Options
We offer a range of periodontal therapy treatments, including:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning process removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to stop the progression of gum disease.
- Antibiotic Therapy: In certain cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate bacteria and reduce gum inflammation.
- Surgical Treatments: For advanced gum disease, we may recommend surgical options to restore gum health and prevent further damage.
Why Periodontal Therapy Matters
Healthy gums are essential for maintaining overall dental health. Periodontal therapy not only helps prevent gum disease but also preserves your natural teeth, prevents bone loss, and supports your overall well-being.
If you’re experiencing gum sensitivity, bleeding, or discomfort, don’t wait—early intervention can save your smile. Contact St. Paul Family Dental Centre today to schedule an evaluation and discuss your personalized periodontal treatment plan.
