Give Your Gums the Care They Deserve
At Hartwood Dental Associates, we care about all parts of your smile. That's not just the teeth. It's also your gums. Gum care is equally important for your health and happiness.
To treat your gums, we offer periodontal therapy. This therapy targets the tooth's surface below the gum line. This area can be hard to treat with regular measures. Normal brushing will not get it clean. That means that tartar can build up and lead to decay.
With periodontal therapy, we'll attack that tartar where it is hiding. This doesn't just reduce inflammation and pain, but it can also prevent long-term problems. Gum disease is prevalent, and it can seriously hinder your ability to smile. Our periodontal care will support healthy gums for years to come.
At Hartwood Dental Associates, we are certified for periodontal therapy. We have the experience and tools needed to carefully address your gums, and we'll make sure the process is as comfortable as possible.
Do you need extra support for your gums? Talk to Hartwood Dental Associates to learn about periodontal care. We offer same-day appointments and emergency care!
Gum disease is caused by a bacterial infection hidden below your gums. Dental cleanings can effectively remove the bacteria, but the bacteria re-populate almost immediately and the infectious cycle continues. It’s important to keep brushing and flossing, but toothbrush, rinse and floss just can’t reach deep enough to address infections below your gums.
The Perio Tray® by Perio Protect gently applies medication deep under the gums to fight the infections and prevent their recurrence. You use it at home for just minutes each day. The Tray is comfortable, flexible, and custom-fit precisely for your mouth.
It is important to treat active infections. Almost half of American adults have chronic periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease that taxes the immune system and may make it harder for your body to fight off other infectious challenges. Infections in your gums may also contribute to other chronic health problems like arterial inflammation.
Not only does Perio Tray® therapy help improve your health, it can also help you smile with more confidence. Patients using Perio Trays® report whiter teeth and fresher breath. Chronic bad breath often signals chronic gum disease. Address the disease and freshen your breath.
If you’ve been told that you have gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), ask our team if Perio Trays® are right for you.
