Protecting More Than Just Your Gums
Periodontal therapy focuses on treating gum disease, a common yet serious condition that can impact not only your oral health but your overall wellness. At Triangle Dentistry in Raleigh, we provide comprehensive care for every stage of gum disease—from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Our goal is to stop the progression of the disease, heal your gums, and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
When Gum Health Needs Extra Support
Anyone can develop gum disease, especially if plaque isn’t removed regularly through brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. You may need periodontal therapy if you’ve noticed swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession. Patients with diabetes, smokers, or those with a family history of gum disease are particularly at risk. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and even affect your heart health.
What Periodontal Therapy Can Do for You
Here’s how our Raleigh team helps manage and treat gum disease:
-
Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria beneath the gumline
-
Ongoing maintenance cleanings to prevent recurrence
-
Antibiotic therapy to target infection and inflammation
-
Monitoring of gum and bone health through digital imaging
-
Personalized home care instructions to improve daily oral hygiene
-
Supportive care for those with chronic conditions affecting gum health
