Caring for your smile is about more than just your teeth; your gum health is equally important to your oral health and overall well-being. We offer periodontal care in our Gaithersburg dental office; the goal of these treatments is to reduce or eliminate your gum disease symptoms.
What Is Periodontal Care?
Periodontal care is designed to diagnose, prevent, and treat any issues that affect your gums, ligaments, and jawbone.
We offer periodontal treatments that get rid of the harmful bacteria beneath your gumline. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to more severe issues, including tooth loss, especially for those who suffer from systemic disease.
When you visit our office, we’ll assess your teeth and gums and customize a treatment plan that may include one or more of the following:
- A diligent oral hygiene routine at home
- More frequent preventive dental cleanings
- A deep cleaning, known as scaling and root planing
- A prescribed regimen of topical antibiotics
