Periodontal therapy refers to a range of treatments that may be required if you have developed periodontitis or gum disease. These treatments play a crucial role in restoring the health of your teeth and gums while preventing tooth loss. Typically, the procedure involves a deep cleaning above and below the gumline to eliminate bacteria and tartar buildup on both the crown and root surfaces of the teeth. This is done using a combination of ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments. In cases of moderate to advanced gum disease, multiple appointments may be necessary. If needed, a referral to a periodontist (gum specialist) for further care will be made.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy
Why is it important to remove biofilm?
Biofilm, often known as plaque, is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria responsible for tooth decay, gum disease and tooth loss. These bacteria are linked to 57 systemic diseases, including Alzheimer's, Arthritis, Chronic Bowel Disorders, Oral Cancer, Premature Birth, Stroke, Heart Disease and many more, highlighting the essential role of dental hygienists.
Fissure Sealants
A shield against tooth decay
Fissure sealants are a straightforward and highly effective strategy for combating tooth decay. By covering the hard-to-clean grooves and pits on the back teeth, they provide an additional layer of protection against decay. These sealants significantly reduce the likelihood of food and bacteria lodging in your teeth's grooves, promoting a healthier mouth.
