Periodontal therapy treats gum disease caused by plaque and bacteria that build up below the gumline. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, symptoms may include redness, swelling, and bleeding gums. If untreated, advanced periodontitis can lead to deep gum pockets, bone loss, loose teeth, and chronic infection.
Before starting treatment, we assess gum pocket depth, inflammation, bone levels, and risk factors such as smoking, dry mouth, or certain medical conditions. Treating gum disease early helps preserve natural teeth and improve long-term oral health.
