Periodontal (Gum) Screening

Woodbridge Dentist

Scaling and root planing is a technique used to treat periodontal (gum) disease to prevent progression of the disease. It is a deep cleaning that clears the mouth of harmful bacteria. Periodontal disease is the number one cause of tooth loss and avoiding treatment may lead to tooth loss.

It’s important to not ignore periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease has been linked to several health conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Gum disease may cause puffy, red or bleeding gums, but the disease may be present without these symptoms. Our team of doctors and hygienists are trained in diagnosing and treating gum disease and can help you achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
