Periodontal therapy focuses on improving the health of your gums by removing plaque, bacteria, and deposits that collect around and below the gumline. These treatments help manage gum disease and support healthier gum tissue.
Periodontal therapy is a group of dental hygiene treatments designed to address buildup and bacteria that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. When plaque and calculus remain around the teeth for extended periods, they may contribute to gum inflammation and periodontal concerns.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy helps remove these deposits and allows the gums to recover without the need for surgical procedures. The goal is to create a cleaner environment around the teeth so the gums can maintain better health.
Depending on your oral health condition, periodontal therapy may include the following procedures:
Dental scaling removes plaque and hardened deposits from the teeth. • Supragingival scaling removes buildup located above the gumline. • Subgingival scaling focuses on removing deposits beneath the gumline where bacteria may collect.
This procedure involves carefully removing inflamed tissue from the gum pocket area to help reduce bacterial presence and encourage healthier gum tissue.
Root planing smooths the root surfaces of the teeth after scaling. This helps eliminate bacterial toxins and supports better attachment between the gums and teeth.
Subgingival irrigation flushes the gum pockets with a cleansing solution to remove bacteria and debris from areas that are difficult to reach through normal oral hygiene.
Managing gum health is an important part of maintaining long-term oral wellness. Periodontal therapy may help:
Every patient’s gum health is different. The recommended periodontal treatment will depend on your individual oral health condition and the level of buildup around the teeth and gums.
