We provide periodontal disease treatment in Arlington, WA.
Periodontal disease is a preventable oral health condition that causes infections and inflammation in the ligaments and tissues that support your teeth. It is also known as gum disease.
Typically, periodontal disease starts as gingivitis, which is a reversible condition. But left untreated, it can graduate to periodontitis, which is only treatable.
Signs of gingivitis and periodontal disease include:
- Bleeding gums, especially during oral hygiene sessions
- Periodic or persistent toothaches and inflammation
- Bad breath that lingers or returns after brushing and flossing
- Loose or mobile teeth in advanced cases
Without treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and even complications with the heart. Studies have even linked it to sudden stroke, dementia, and low birth weight in infants.
Your Arlington, WA dentist provides gentle but effective periodontal treatment to restore healthier gums and help them better adhere to your teeth, which prevents new infections. This method of treatment is called scaling and planing or deep dental cleanings. Your dentist will also provide specific instructions for at-home care.
