Periodontal therapy treats and prevents gum disease, which is caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria on the teeth and gums. It involves a deep cleaning of the teeth and gums to remove this buildup and prevent further damage to the gums and teeth. The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to reduce inflammation, prevent tooth loss, improve oral health, and maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease or gingivitis, is an infection of the tissues that hold teeth in place. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth which, if left untreated, can lead to inflammation of the gums. This inflammation, known as gingivitis, is the earliest stage of gum disease and is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which is a more severe form of gum disease that can result in tooth loss and other systemic health problems.
