Preventative Care
Bacteria in your mouth forms a sticky film (plaque) on teeth and gums. If not removed, this film hardens into a crust (tartar or calculus). A buildup of plaque and tartar can cause an infection called periodontal disease. Periodontal disease can lead to pain, gum damage, bone loss or even the eventual loss of your teeth.

In a healthy mouth gums are firm and pink. Firm healthy gums protect teeth and bone. Infected gums bleed, swell and recede (pull away) from teeth. Teeth may loosen and become sensitive. As the infection worsens, bone is lost and teeth may begin falling out.

Periodontal Therapy
In order to effectively treat periodontal disease the Dentist will determine how advanced your periodontal disease is. A full mouth set of x-rays will be taken to determine the amount of bone loss. Periodontal charting will be done. This is a series of six measurements per tooth that indicates the degree of periodontal disease.

Scaling and root planing is a special type of cleaning done by a dental professional. This is usually done on more than one visit and does require anesthesia. This procedure removes plaque and bacteria below the gum line. Once the bacteria and tartar is removed, the gum tissue can then reattach at a healthy level. Home care is of the utmost importance. Our hygienist will instruct you in how to maintain your healthy teeth and gums for life.
