Periodontal Procedures

Problem:

Gingival inflammation (red, swollen gums) due to bacterial plaque and tartar accumulation.

Treatment:

Non-surgical therapy may include one or more of the following:

Scaling and root planing ("deep cleaning"), anti-infective therapy, occlusal adjustment, splinting of teeth, fabrication of a stabilizing splint to control grinding and clenching damage to your teeth and gums, or minor tooth movement.

Dr. Gordon will carefully evaluate your response to non-surgical therapy. If you respond favorably, ongoing Supportive Periodontal Therapy (maintenance) will be prescribed to protect your periodontal health. If your periodontal problems persist, you may need further surgical treatment.

Your Health Benefits:

• Better general health by controlling the infection
• Reduced risk of pain and future expense
• Reduced risk of esthetic problems with early treatment
• Prevention of tooth loss

Your Risks With No Treatment:

• Bad breath
• Continued periodontal infection, eventually requiring more complex treatment
• Pain, discomfort, and additional expense
• Eventual tooth loss
