Periodontal Therapy
Periodontal Therapy
A periodontist is a specialist who cares for the health of your gums and your bone. People tend to spend so much time focusing on the teeth but forget the crucial structures holding the teeth in place – the gums, and below that, the bone. The periodontists at Srinivasam Dental will ensure that these vital structures are in top shape.
Srinivasam Dental provides all periodontal services including gum reduction surgery (gingivectomy), periodontal pocket surgery, crown lengthening, deep cleanings, bone and soft tissue grafting and gum reduction surgery. The Periodontist works in conjunction with the restorative dentist to achieve the ideal esthetic and functional result for you. At Srinivasam Dental, we strive for Preventive Care, and most periodontal disease can be treated with regular flossing and tooth-brushing.

Periodontal Treatment Procedures
Periodontal therapy may involve non-surgical or surgical procedures depending on the severity of the condition. The most common initial treatment is scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to promote healing. In advanced cases, minor surgical procedures may be required to reduce deep pockets and restore gum health.
Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
Effective periodontal treatment eliminates infection, reduces inflammation, and prevents further bone loss. It helps maintain healthy gums, preserves natural teeth, and improves overall oral health. Healthy gums also contribute to better overall well-being, as untreated gum disease has been linked to systemic health issues.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial after periodontal therapy. Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and attending periodic maintenance visits help prevent recurrence of gum disease. Professional cleanings and follow-up care ensure long-term stability and a healthy smile.
