Perio therapy/cleanings

Periodontal Treatment:

While most people are conscious of the necessity of brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups, many are unaware of the importance of proper gum care. When left unchecked, periodontitis (or gum disease) can cause tooth loss and other oral health problems, and recent research points to a link between periodontitis and increased risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Unfortunately, studies also show that around 80 percent of American adults have some form of gum disease, of which only a small minority are aware of the condition; while sore, swollen, or bleeding gums, tooth pain or sensitivity, and persistent bad breath are common indicators of gum disease, often periodontal disorders display no obvious symptoms. Sundet Dental and Facial Aesthetics provides a full range of periodontal therapy and corrective treatment programs at our practice for diagnosing and treating gum disease. These include scaling and root planing and the application of Arestin® antibiotic that minimize patient discomfort, post-treatment recovery time, and risk of infection. With periodontal care from Sundet Dental and Facial Aesthetics team, periodontitis, gingivitis, and other gum disorders can be caught and properly treated before they grow into large problems, keeping your smile strong and healthy.
