Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal disease is often referred to as the “silent killer” of teeth because it develops slowly and there is seldom any pain or discomfort. Many people suffer from periodontal disease without any knowledge of its destruction. New research has linked periodontal disease to several systemic health issues including diabetes, pre-term pregnancies, heart disease and stroke.
By attending regular maintenance appointments, practicing good home care and proceeding with the recommendations instructed by your hygienist, the early to moderate stages of periodontal disease can be stopped and controlled in a comfortable, conservative manner.
