Periodontics

Gum disease is a swelling and/or soreness of the gums around your teeth. It is caused by the build up of bacterial plaque. If the plaque is not removed by brushing and flossing, it can effect your gums, teeth and the underlying bone that supports them. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss.

Periodontal gum disease may also be the cause of increased risk of other conditions effecting one’s general health. With proper care, gum disease can be treated and prevented.

At your consultation, Dr Argento will carefully examine, and evaluate your periodontal needs and come up with an appropriate treatment plan. In some instances only conservative treatment will be required such as antibiotic therapy alone or in conjunction with scaling and root planning. Only in severe cases is supplemental periodontal surgery required. Regardless of your treatment and care, Dr Argento will give you the individual care you deserve, with no discomfort in a relaxed atmosphere. Call today and schedule an appointment with Dr. Argento.
