Using PRP Therapy To Address Tissue Damage From Gum Disease

You may be surprised by the degree of harm periodontal disease can cause you. The effects of gingivitis, the first stage of an infection, can be relatively mild. You may notice some swelling or reddening of your gums, or observe bleeding when you brush and floss. If you take action to address the infection at this time, you can recover your periodontal health without requiring ongoing support.

With PRP therapy, our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can help you naturally regrow healthy tissues, and limit the harmful effects of an infection. (more…)
