Gum Disease Treatment in Rocky Hill
Periodontal (gum) disease affects three out of every four patients. Gums that are red, bleeding, and
tender as well as bad breath are signs of periodontal disease. During exams, we perform a comprehensive periodontal evaluation to ensure the health of your gums. If periodontal disease is detected, you can be sure that you will receive the highest level of care available. Our hygienists have been extensively trained in the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease. Because your care and comfort is our main priority, our hygienists use advanced techniques and materials to ensure the best result possible.
We take periodontal disease very seriously. It is the number one contributor to tooth loss and has been linked to numerous health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and birth defects. Our hygiene department understands the importance of healthy gums and the link they have to a healthy you!
We are now able to successfully treat and arrest gum disease more easily than ever before. Using a combination of computerized charting, ultrasonic cleaning techniques, and a unique antibiotic powder called Arestin, our gum disease strategy results in lasting, comfortable periodontal health.
