What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy is an umbrella term for procedures and treatments that fight gum disease. They are extremely important in helping restore your gums and teeth, removing all signs of infection and disease, and preventing future teeth loss and other serious health issues. Therapies include surgical and non-surgical treatments, depending on the severity and stage of your periodontal disease. We will work with you to determine the best treatment for you and your oral health.
Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Therapy
The type of therapy you need depends on the severity and amount of damage to your gums and teeth. Surgical therapy is needed for patients who have advanced periodontitis and need more intensive surgical procedures to help restore their teeth and gums. Surgical therapies include gum grafting, gum flap surgery and dental implants.
Non-surgical therapies include regular, thorough dental cleaning, flossing, scaling and root planing and sometimes, medication.
