Periodontal Disease

Protecting More Than Just Your Smile

Scientific research continues to support the direct relationship between gum disease and serious systemic diseases. The most successful methods of maintaining your oral health are through effective daily oral hygiene and regularly scheduled professional cleanings and examinations.

Periodontal disease can be extremely destructive since most people do not feel any pain — which is why it is so important to see your dentist every 6 months. After age 30, your chances of gum disease increase dramatically.

The good news is that our periodontal therapy program is one of the most complete of its kind, offering both preventive care and advanced nonsurgical treatment options.

Our Program Includes

Careful gumline check and precise pocket depth measurements
Inspection of bone line and tooth mobility
Proper oral hygiene education
Antibiotics and bite correction as needed
Scaling and root planing (deep cleaning)
Splinting for mobile teeth
Arestin® antibiotic therapy for periodontitis
Ongoing maintenance and monitoring

Arestin® Therapy

We may recommend Arestin® as part of your periodontal therapy — an FDA-approved treatment for periodontitis that effectively kills the bacteria causing gum disease by delivering antibiotic microspheres directly into infected pockets.
