What is gum disease therapy?
Gum disease therapy refers to a range of treatments designed to help prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease.
These may include:

The key to successful gum disease therapy is early detection and treatment. If you are experiencing symptoms of gum disease, don’t hesitate to seek treatment. Contact us and learn more about how gum disease therapy can benefit you.

- NIn severe cases, we may recommend additional treatments, such as antibiotic therapy or surgery.
Remember! Early detection and treatment are key to successful gum disease therapy. To keep good oral health and prevent gum disease recurrence, we recommend that patients attend dental cleanings four times a year until gum disease is under control.
