(832) 479-2606Whether you know it or not, your gums are just as important as your teeth when it comes to maintaining good oral health. Periodontal therapy is the care and treatment of your gums. Healthy gums and general dentistry are essential to an attractive smile and healthy mouth. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, must be treated early and thoroughly to prevent the spread of infection and the bacteria that cause it.
Periodontal therapy includes deep cleaning, called root scaling and planing, that removes plaque and bacteria and protects the surface and roots of your teeth.
Gum disease puts your whole mouth, and even the rest of your body, at risk of disease and infection. Did you know that gum disease has been linked to stroke, type 2 diabetes, and pregnancy risks? It is caused by poor oral hygiene, which leads to a build-up of bacteria on the teeth and in the gum tissues. The bacteria begin to attack your gums over time, resulting in widespread infection, tooth decay, and even tooth loss.
Effective treatment of gum disease requires getting into the areas around the teeth, where plaque and tartar build up, and thoroughly cleaning those areas to eliminate the risk of infection.
Depending on your condition and overall healthcare needs, our dentists offer a full range of surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatments. Here are the other services we provide to restore your good oral health and give you a reason to smile again:
