Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment focuses on preserving the health of the gums and supporting structures. Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated, making timely intervention crucial.

Common Signs of Periodontal Disease

Early signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing and persistent bad breath. If you experience these symptoms, it is essential to seek professional care promptly to prevent the progression of the disease.

Scaling and Root Planing

One common periodontal treatment is scaling and root planing. This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth and the roots, smoothing out the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from re-accumulating.

Periodontal Maintenance

For individuals with a history of gum disease, periodontal maintenance is crucial. Regular cleanings and checkups with Dr. Anne Casson help manage the condition, preventing further progression and maintaining optimal gum health.

Surgical Interventions

In advanced cases, surgical procedures such as gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery may be recommended to address deep pockets or receding gums. Our dentist and team tailor the treatment plan to the specific needs of each patient.
