Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common queries about periodontal services in our FAQS. Learn about treatments, costs, recovery, and more to make informed decisions about your oral health.

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth. It can cause inflammation, bleeding gums, and tooth loss if left untreated.

What causes periodontal disease?

Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetic predisposition, certain medications, and systemic diseases can contribute to the development of periodontal disease.

What are the signs of periodontal disease?

Common signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, receding gums, and changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.

How is periodontal disease treated?

Treatment often involves deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooth the tooth roots to prevent bacteria from accumulating.

What is scaling and root planing?

Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and below the gumline, while root planing smooths the root surfaces to prevent bacteria buildup and promote healing.

Is scaling and root planing painful?

We use local anesthesia to numb the area before the procedure, so you should feel minimal discomfort during scaling and root planing.

How often should I have scaling and root planing done?

The frequency of deep cleanings depends on the severity of your periodontal disease and your oral health needs. Your dentist will recommend a personalized treatment plan.

What are dental sealants?

Dental sealants are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect them from decay-causing bacteria and prevent cavities.

Who can benefit from dental sealants?

Children and adults with deep pits and grooves in their teeth that are difficult to clean with regular brushing can benefit from dental sealants.

Are dental sealants permanent?

While dental sealants can last for several years with proper care, they may need to be reapplied periodically to maintain their effectiveness in preventing tooth decay.
