Periodontal Therapy

Did you know that over 80% of adults have periodontal disease (gum disease), and many might not even know it? But gum disease is preventable and treatable. We perform periodontal therapy to fight gum disease and all its negative side effects.

Gum disease doesn’t just threaten your oral health. It’s been linked with heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. That’s why getting checked for gum disease and receiving periodontal therapy if gum disease is present can make such a difference in your overall health.

During your periodontal therapy treatment for gum disease, Dr. Spees will perform scaling and root planing. He will clear the area of tartar, bacteria, and toxins, and smooth the surface of the tooth root to prevent more toxins from taking hold. Afterward, regular checks for periodontal disease will help keep the problem from recurring.
