Meet Our Providers
You can help prevent periodontal disease by brushing twice a day, flossing once per day, eating a balanced diet, and having regular dental checkups.
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria that live in the plaque and hard deposits on your teeth. These bacteria create toxins that can damage the gums and bone.
In the early stage, called gingivitis, the gums can become red, swollen, and bleed easily. At this stage the disease is still reversible and can usually be eliminated with a professional teeth cleaning and daily brushing and flossing. In the more advanced stages, called periodontitis, the gums and bone that support the teeth can become seriously damaged; teeth can become loose, fall out, or may have to be extracted by a dentist.
Periodontal disease cannot be cured, only managed. If your dentist diagnoses you with a periodontal disease, treatment may include a periodontal therapy by a dental hygienist, followed by periodontal maintenance in 3-month intervals. More severe cases must be treated surgically.
