About periodontal therapy & gum care
Annapolis Dental Care offers periodontal therapy for gum disease, along with ongoing periodontal maintenance. An evaluation helps your dentist recommend the appropriate care for your gums and the tissues supporting your teeth.
Take symptoms seriously
Tell your dentist about bleeding, tenderness, or changes in your gums. A periodontal evaluation helps assess the health of tissues supporting your teeth.
Periodontal therapy
Treatment may include scaling and root planing, a cleaning below the gumline used to treat gum disease. Your dentist will explain the treatment recommended, comfort measures, and follow-up. Some conditions require specialist care.
Keep up with maintenance
Follow-up visits and home care support ongoing gum health. Your team will discuss an appropriate maintenance schedule.
