Restore gum health with effective periodontal therapy! Anderson & Breding Dental in Fargo, ND offers specialized treatments for gum disease.
What is periodontal therapy?
Periodontal therapy is a series of treatments designed to address gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, and restore the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
Why is periodontal therapy important?
Periodontal disease can lead to serious complications such as gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal therapy aims to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage to the gums and surrounding tissues.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose or shifting teeth, and changes in the fit of dentures or dental appliances.
What treatments are included in periodontal therapy?
Periodontal therapy may include deep cleaning procedures such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, antibiotic therapy to control infection, and surgical interventions for advanced cases.
Is periodontal therapy painful?
With local anesthesia and modern techniques, periodontal therapy is typically not painful. Your dentist at Anderson & Breding Dental will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
