Your smile is about more than your teeth, and without safe and healthy gums, your oral health could be at risk. If your dentist has recommended that you speak with a periodontist, it is because it is time for your gums to experience a refresh. Your periodontal tissue serves as the foundation for your smile, supporting your teeth, so it is important to work toward better gums in order to keep your smile safe as you age.

Your Gum Health Is Important In Keeping Your Smile Safe

Your gums provide a covering for the root of each tooth, helping you to have a healthy smile and a stable bite. Sometimes, things can happen that jeopardize the strength of your periodontal tissue, however. Your routine dental cleanings and your daily flossing help you to avoid them, so be sure to keep up with your oral health hygiene.

One of the most common ways that your gums experience damage is through the accumulation of bacterial buildup. This starts with a material known as plaque, and it is acidic enough to irritate your gums. Plaque calcifies into a harder form known as tartar, as well, and at this point, you need a trained dental professional to remove it.

Ozone Therapy And Laser Periodontal Treatment Can Be Effective

At our office, we love to stay on the forefront of new and exciting periodontal treatments. In addition to scaling and root planing, we offer advanced forms of care in order to give you better gums now and into the future. With the LANAP system, for instance, we can slow and even stop the progression of periodontal disease with lasers!

Ozone therapy is another helpful treatment for infected and inflamed gums. This method of treatment uses a specific oxygen gas to promote healing and reduce bacterial growth. With our team, you know that you have options in finding a periodontal treatment that’s right for you.
