Sarasota Periodontics Glossary

Timely periodontal treatment helps people achieve a healthy mouth and prevent teeth loss.

Periodontal treatment starts with proper home care and regular dental visits. Doing that helps the majority of patients keep their teeth for a lifetime.

Periodontal disease can be considered any form of disease affecting the periodontium - the tissues that surround and support the teeth.

The treatment of this disease depends on how far it has progressed. If caught in the early stages, simple procedures to remove the plaque and calculus from the gum line are done. If the disease has advanced further, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically.

Periodontal treatment is one of the best investments in your health you can ever make!
