Periodontal disease (or
gum disease) is primarily caused by bacterial plaque, although
several other factors like genetics, smoking, tobacco consumption
and medical conditions like diabetes and AIDS can also cause
periodontal disease. The initial symptoms of these disease
are bleeding gums and bad breath. They are usually painless
disease and may go unnoticed until it is too late.
We perform periodontal therapy on patients
diagnosed with early periodontal disease. Scaling and Root
planning procedures are used to remove deep tartar. Periodic
maintenance appointments are scheduled until optimum results
are achieved. We also educate our patients about home health
care to achieve these optimum results.
