Periodontal Treatment Services

Periodontal treatment is the specialist cleaning of your teeth and gums to help control the bacteria that cause gum disease.

Gum disease is caused by the germs (bacteria) which live in your mouth. The bacteria stick to your teeth, irritate the gums and make them bleed. Gum disease can eventually destroy the gum and bone which support your teeth.

Some people get more severe gum disease than others. This may have specific causes such as diabetes or smoking, but some people are just more prone to gum disease.
