Periodontal Treatment

It is one of the most common causes of tooth loss, and has also been linked to many other health problems, including heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and stroke. If you are diagnosed with periodontal disease, you will probably require a special deep cleaning called “scaling and root planing” to help stop the disease process. Routine maintenance visits are also important to ensure the your periodontal disease is properly controlled. If you think you may have periodontal disease, contact our office today.
