Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common infection caused by bacteria that can damage the gums and supporting bone around your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. If you’ve noticed bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, don’t ignore the signs. Early treatment can help prevent tooth loss and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
A deep cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline while smoothing the root surfaces to help the gums heal and reattach to the teeth. This gold-standard therapy stops active infection and creates an optimal environment for tissue regeneration.
After active treatment, regular periodontal maintenance cleanings help keep your gums healthy and reduce the risk of disease returning. These visits are typically recommended every 3–4 months, depending on your individual needs.
Perio Trays® are custom-made dental trays designed to deliver medication deep below the gumline to help manage gum disease (periodontitis). When used as directed by your dentist, they can be an effective addition to professional periodontal treatment and home care.
