Periodontal

Periodontal, or gum, disease and tooth decay are both caused by a thin sticky layer of plaque. Plaque constantly accumulates on tooth surfaces. Some of the plaque bacteria will release poisons which irritate and destroy the supporting gum and bone - periodontal disease.

There are a number of types of periodontal disease and they all affect the tissues supporting the teeth. As the disease gets worse the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw is lost, making the teeth loose. If this is not treated, the teeth may eventually fall out.

We offer a full Periodontal package which focuses on the removal of plaque and tartar by careful scaling of the root surfaces. Usually we offer about four appointments are regular and specific intervals During the treatment the patients learns exactly what periodontal disease is and why they suffer from this disease. One very important aspect of the treatment is that they learn how to perform careful home care, which will prevent further problems with their teeth and gums.
