Gum Disease Treatment

Periodontal diseases are infections that affect the gums, gradually damaging the structures that support your natural teeth. These diseases come in various forms, each requiring specific treatment methods. Dental plaque is the leading cause of gum disease in individuals who are genetically predisposed. Regular brushing and flossing can help prevent the majority of periodontal conditions.

The most effective way to prevent gum disease is through consistent daily brushing, flossing, and routine professional cleanings and examinations. However, even with the best at-home dental care, some individuals may still develop periodontal disease. Once the disease begins, professional treatment is essential to stop its progression and protect your oral health.
