What Is Periodontal Therapy?

Periodontal therapy targets gum disease at the source. Whether it's gingivitis (the early stage) or periodontitis (the heavy hitter), this treatment helps clean beneath the gumline, remove infection, and restore your oral health.

Why Gum Health Should Be on Your Radar

Here’s the deal: gum disease doesn’t just hurt your mouth. Studies show it’s linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. The gums are like the foundation of a house—if they go, everything else is at risk.

Do You Need Periodontal Therapy?

Here are a few signs to watch for:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Pain while chewing

Types of Periodontal Therapy in Tukwila, WA

Scaling and Root Planing

The classic “deep clean”—removing plaque and tartar below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces to help healing.

Ongoing Maintenance

Gum disease isn’t a one-and-done thing. Routine visits help maintain results and prevent relapse.

Advanced Gum Health Monitoring

Using advanced dental technology, early signs of gum issues are caught before they escalate.
