What is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment is a special type of dental care focused on your gums and the structures that support your teeth. It's essential for keeping your mouth healthy and preventing tooth loss. 

Why is it Necessary?

• Protect Your Teeth. Periodontal disease can harm the gums and bone around your teeth, which can lead to tooth loss if not treated.

• Improve Your Overall Health. Healthy gums can positively impact your overall health, reducing the risk of issues like heart disease and diabetes.

• Enhance Your Smile. Treating gum disease helps you maintain a beautiful smile.
  

What Does Treatment Involve?

1. Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing).
   This procedure removes plaque and tartar from below your gums and smooths the roots of your teeth to help them heal.

2. Medication.
   Sometimes, we may prescribe antibiotics to fight infection and promote healing.

3. Surgical Options.
   In more advanced cases, we might recommend surgery to restore your gum and bone health.

4. Regular Check-Ups.
   Ongoing visits are important to keep an eye on your gum health and prevent future issues.
