Is one of many services we have researched and improved for our patients, allowing us to provide you with the most effective conservative approach in treating periodontal infection. We have improved our skills and knowledge to treat this condition with less invasive procedures.

Periodontal disease (commonly known as gum disease) is an infection of the gums underneath the gum line where your toothbrush cannot reach. Periodontal disease is formed by untreated bacteria that is left on the gum line by

• No brushing.
• Inadequate brushing.
• No flossing.
• Inadequate flossing.

Certain diseases such as Diabetes, Respiratory and Cardiovascular disorders as well as smoking have been recognized as being contributing factors to periodontal disease.

Other conditions such as hormonal unbalances due to pregnancy and menopause can also exacerbate periodontal infection. The American Dental Association has mandated greater efforts to make early diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and our office has made great changes to comply with this action.

These conditions, if treated and monitored closely, can be treated with great success.

We now know that healthy gums don’t bleed. And when they do, a definite infection is present within your gums. You must take care of your teeth and gums otherwise you may expose your teeth to decay, bone loss, and even loose teeth.

There are very comfortable ways of treating this infection through periodontal therapy and close monitoring of the healing process. By incorporating lasers and microphonics, we can eliminate bacteria from underneath your gum line. This allows your tissues to heal to a point where now you can brush, floss, and keep healthy at home.

Ultimately you are the deciding factor in the success of the treatment. Helping you improve the way you care for your teeth assures us even greater success with your treatment.
