Information About Periodontics Services

Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by a buildup of plaque in the gum pockets, which can cause inflamed gums and may become severe if not treated.

Caused by excess plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria under the gumline, periodontal disease is a progressive gum condition that can cause tooth loss.

Scaling and root planing is a noninvasive treatment that eliminates plaque and tartar from the gumline to reduce the effects of periodontal disease.
