Periodontal disease, or gum disease, will develop if plaque and tartar accumulate along and under your gum line. We can determine if you're experiencing the effects of periodontal disease and repair the damage if you are diagnosed.
Regular cleaning and maintenance up to four times a year might be needed once the treatment is completed to make sure the problem doesn't return.

Periodontal disease starts with Gingivitis and then progresses to gum disease. If plaque isn't properly removed from your teeth, it hardens and becomes tartar. It will then release toxins that cause inflammation and destroy your gum’s attachment to your tooth.
Advanced stages happen when there is bone loss due to the tartar and toxins produced. We are able to diagnose and offer treatment, from a simple cleaning to periodontal surgery.
