Periodontal treatment is a specialized field dedicated to maintaining the health of the gums and preventing or addressing gum diseases. Dr. Sandy Kim, our experienced dentist, emphasizes the importance of periodontal care in preserving the foundation of a healthy smile.
Understanding Periodontal Health
Gums play a pivotal role in oral health, providing support to teeth and protecting underlying structures. Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, can compromise this crucial foundation, leading to issues like gum recession, tooth mobility and even tooth loss.
Signs of Periodontal Disease
Early detection is key to effective periodontal treatment. Symptoms include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession and changes in tooth alignment. Regular dental checkups with Dr. Kim enable timely identification and intervention.
Comprehensive Periodontal Treatment Approaches
We employ a comprehensive approach to periodontal care. This may include scaling and root planing, gum surgery and other targeted treatments to address inflammation, infection and promote gum tissue regeneration.
