Periodontal Gum Treatments
Diseases of the gum (Periodontal disease) cause inflammation and loss of the healthy attachment of the tooth to the gum and jaw bone. The best treatment is prevention, and if caught early simple hygiene measures may be all that is needed to regain control.
Gum Disease, if untreated, is a major cause of tooth loss
From minimally invasive techniques to correct recession of the gums that give a “long-in-the-tooth” appearance, to more advanced corrective surgery to treat periodontal disease, we can help you restore your gums and save your teeth.

What is the cause of Gum Disease?
The bacteria and saliva in your mouth combine to form a sticky film known as plaque. If this is not cleaned efficiently every day, it builds up on your teeth, and can lead to inflammation and decay.
