What is the treatment for periodontitis?
The first thing to do is to have a comprehensive periodontal evaluation to determine the course of treatment. Sometimes we start with a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) and then do another evaluation after the patient has had time to heal. Other times the patient needs to go straight to periodontal surgery. READ MORE
Can gingivitis be prevented?
The best way to prevent gingivitis is to brush with a soft toothbrush and make sure you brush at the gum line. You should also use dental floss daily. Lastly, you need to have your teeth cleaned on a regular basis at your dental office. READ MORE

Are there early signs and symptoms of periodontal problems?
Early signs of periodontal disease are bleeding with brushing or flossing and tenderness of the gums. The best way to take care of your gums is to brush and floss daily.

Can periodontal disease be reversed?
There are several types of periodontal disease. Most of the time, periodontal disease is a chronic condition. There are times when bone can be regenerated - but, we don't get rid of the disease. Our goal is to find a way to prevent further bone loss and to regenerate the bone that has been lost. If your father went for a long period of time without having his teeth cleaned, it is possible that his condition could be reversed. READ MORE
