What Are The Benefits Of Periodontal Care?
Dr. Shah and Dr. Kashyap takes excellent care of your teeth, so you can enjoy daily comfort and a beautiful smile. However, beyond your teeth lies the remaining tissues in your oral cavity, including gums, ligaments, your jawbone, and other soft tissues. These structures support your teeth and must also remain in good health for a long-lasting healthy smile. If Dr. Shah and Dr. Kashyap diagnoses you with periodontal disease, care from our periodontist will benefit you in the following ways:
- She will perform ultrasonic scaling to remove bacteria-filled plaque from your teeth and beneath your gumline
- She will address and reverse gingivitis
- She will offer ongoing periodontal treatment to patients with periodontitis, to guide the patient toward regained oral health
- Your periodontist may perform gum contouring or grafting, to repair the effects of gum recession, or to address cosmetic gumline concerns
