Periodontal dentistry focuses on preventing and treating diseases and conditions that impact teeth-supporting structures, like the cementum, gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Gum or periodontal disease is an example of a disease that affects teeth-supporting structures. Periodontal disease can cause tooth decay, bad breath, and bone and tooth loss.
At Washington, we have expert periodontists who offer surgical procedures such as gum grafting and pocket reduction to treat conditions affecting teeth-supporting structures. We not only treat but also stress the importance of proper periodontal care. We provide our patients with tools and tips to improve home dental care and prevent future periodontal problems. Good periodontal care can enhance your mouth's health and protect your teeth. Call us today to schedule an appointment with one of our professional periodontists and say goodbye to your gum disease.
