Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapy is performed to treat gum disease (periodontal disease), which is caused by bacterial infection and inflammation of the gums. Treatment may include scaling and root planning (deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline), periodontal maintenance (regular cleanings and check-ups), and adjunctive therapies such as antibiotics or laser therapy.

Periodontal therapy can be performed to treat gum infection resulting from a previous dental restoration involves addressing inflammation and infection of the gums (periodontal tissues) that may have developed as a complication of the restoration procedure. This can occur when dental restorations, such as crowns or fillings, are improperly fitted, allowing bacteria to accumulate along the gumline and cause infection.

Periodontal therapy is essential for treating gum infection associated with previous dental restorations and restoring gum health. It helps to eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and prevent further damage to the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. By addressing gum infection promptly and effectively, patients can maintain optimal oral health and preserve the longevity of their dental restorations.
