Periodontal Care

When dental plaque is not properly removed, it hardens into tartar, leading to gum inflammation. This buildup of plaque and tartar can cause gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, which may progress to periodontitis if left untreated.

Periodontitis results in deeper gum pockets and bone loss, which can eventually lead to loose teeth or tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings and diligent home care are essential in preventing the onset of gingivitis and maintaining overall gum health.

At Hamburg Family Dental, we conduct a thorough periodontal evaluation to assess the health of your gums. If signs of periodontal disease are present, we offer treatments such as deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to remove tartar and bacteria from deep within the gum pockets, allowing the gums to heal. Although bone loss from periodontitis cannot be reversed, with proper home care and more frequent periodontal maintenance visits, we can effectively prevent the progression of gum disease and protect your oral health.

Periodontal Care

Peridontal evaluation

A periodontal evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of your gums to detect early signs of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. At Hamburg Family Dental, we examine the condition of your gums, measure pocket depths, and check for inflammation, bone loss, or other periodontal concerns. Early detection through a periodontal evaluation helps us create a personalized treatment plan to maintain or restore your gum health.

Deep Cleaning/Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing, commonly referred to as a deep cleaning, is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease by thoroughly cleaning below the gumline. This treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from deep pockets around the teeth, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. At Hamburg Family Dental, our deep cleaning process helps prevent the progression of gum disease and encourages healthier gums.

Periodontal Maintenance Visits

Periodontal maintenance visits are essential for patients with a history of gum disease to prevent its recurrence and maintain oral health. These specialized cleanings go beyond regular dental cleanings by focusing on the areas most affected by periodontal disease. During these visits, we monitor your gum health, clean below the gumline, and provide personalized care to help control gum disease and protect your teeth and gums long-term.
