Periodontal disease is a serious infection of the gums and other tissues surrounding the teeth. Millions of Americans have periodontal disease. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth and bone loss.
Periodontal treatment can bring your mouth back to health and help you keep your teeth. A healthy oral cavity can help prevent systemic diseases such as heart disease, respiratory infections, and premature babies to name a few. Most of the symptoms of periodontal disease go without notice.
With regular recare visits and proper home care, periodontal disease can be diagnosed early and treated. Treatments include scaling and root planning (SRP), antibacterial therapy, surgery, or a combination of these.
