Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy deals with gum disease (gingivitis). Though bleeding gums is an obvious symptom of gum disease, there may be no symptoms at all in its earliest stages.

The best prevention for good dental hygiene consists of; brushing, flossing, and using a waterpik at home, and regular cleanings by the dental hygienist. Additional therapies include scaling, deep scaling, and root planning.
