Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal Treatment Streatham

Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing and managing gum disease, which affects the tissues supporting your teeth. It is used to treat conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis, helping to reduce inflammation, bleeding, and infection in the gums. Early treatment is important to protect both your gums and the long-term stability of your teeth.

The procedure may involve deep cleaning techniques such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line. In more advanced cases, additional treatments may be recommended to restore gum health. Regular periodontal care helps prevent further bone loss and supports a healthier, fresher smile.
