Periodontal treatments are meant to treat the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. The objective is to treat cases ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis through different procedures such as scaling and root planing (the removal of plaque and calculus or tartar from beneath the gum tissue) and regenerative procedures (the reversal of lost bone and tissue). Published research has shown that periodontitis can be related to heart disease and diabetes. For this reason, we are here to help you maintain good periodontal health.
