PERIODONTAL THERAPY near you
Supporting Healthy Gums and Long-term Oral Health
At Croydon Dental, our periodontal therapy focuses on treating gum disease and protecting the foundation of your smile. Through personalized care and targeted treatments, our team helps reduce infection, support healing, and maintain long-term oral health.
When Is Periodontal Therapy Needed?
Periodontal therapy is recommended when gum disease affects the tissues and bone supporting your teeth. Early signs like bleeding gums or sensitivity can progress if left untreated, leading to gum recession or tooth loss.
Treatment may be needed if you experience:
Bleeding or swollen gums
Persistent bad breath
Gum recession or loose teeth
Deep pockets around teeth
At Croydon Dental, we focus on early intervention and personalized care to help restore gum health and prevent further complications.
What Happens During Periodontal Therapy?
If periodontal therapy is recommended, your care will be tailored to your specific needs and gum condition.
- Assessment and Diagnosis: We examine your gums and measure pocket depths to determine the extent of gum disease.
- Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): Plaque and tartar are removed below the gumline, and root surfaces are smoothed to support healing.
- Infection Control: Treatment helps reduce bacteria and inflammation to improve gum health.
- Monitoring and Maintenance: Ongoing care and hygiene visits help maintain results and prevent recurrence.
- Supportive Care: We provide guidance to help you care for your gums at home between visits.
