A great place for Periodontal Care for Tigard Dental Patients! Periodontal disease is one of the biggest health issues when it comes to oral hygiene. Also known as gum disease, this issue happens when bacteria forms in the gum line and gradually eats away at the gums. This can lead to tooth loss as the gums that should support and protect the tooth gradually vanish. Signs include tender or swollen gums, spaces between the teeth and gums, or receding gums.
Our team of dental professionals use several different treatments to fight against periodontal disease, including scaling and root planing – which removes the plaque and tartar that leads to periodontal disease. Caught early, this is a straightforward process. In more severe cases, additional steps may be taken. Either way, our team can help you fight against gum disease and keep your smile healthy.
