Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common dental condition that can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated. At Dentistry on Duncan Mill, we offer comprehensive periodontal care and dental hygiene services to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.

Understanding Periodontal and Dental Health

Periodontal and dental health are essential components of overall well-being. Periodontal health refers to the health of the gums and bone supporting the teeth, while dental health encompasses the health of the teeth themselves. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental check-ups, is crucial for preventing gum disease and tooth decay, and promoting a healthy smile.

Our dental professionals offer a variety of treatment options to address gum disease and maintain optimal oral health, including:

  • Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gums.
  • Gum Grafting: A surgical procedure to replace lost gum tissue.
  • Periodontal Surgery: Advanced surgical techniques to treat severe gum disease.
  • Professional Teeth Cleaning: Regular cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup.
