We offer customized periodontal (gum) treatment in Philadelphia. For you, this means we put together a plan that addresses your specific needs and level of disease.
About Gum Disease
Gum disease typically starts as gingivitis. At this stage, you have infections in the tissues surrounding your teeth. Fortunately, with intervention from the dentist, we can reverse this condition and restore your oral health.
Without regular dental care and intervention, gingivitis graduates to gum disease—a condition we can treat but can no longer cure. However, we can restore you to better oral health and mitigate the risks associated with gum disease.
Treatment for gum disease may include some or all of the following:
- Custom teeth cleaning schedule in our dental office
- Custom oral hygiene routine for home use
- Deep cleanings below the gumline
- Topical antibiotics
After the dentist assesses your gum disease, we will talk to you about the best treatment plan to save your teeth and prevent complications. Following the plan is crucial because gum disease can also lead to wellness concerns involving the heart and lungs.
