Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment refers to the care of your gums and supporting bone structure, which form the foundation of your smile. Without healthy gums, even the strongest teeth can be at risk.
Gum disease (periodontitis) is a common but serious condition caused by bacteria and plaque buildup that inflames and damages gum tissue. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to systemic health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.
Periodontal Treatment in Logan Reserve
Treatment begins with professional cleanings and scaling to remove plaque and tartar. In more advanced cases, procedures like root planing, local antibiotic therapy or even advanced laser treatments like LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) may be recommended. LANAP uses laser technology to gently target diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact, promoting faster healing and less discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
Signs of Gum Disease
Signs you may need periodontal treatment include:
- Bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose teeth
In many cases, the earlier gum disease is caught, the easier it is to manage. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene at home are also important in preventing periodontal issues.
