What Is Periodontal Care?

Periodontal care is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, begins when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline. Without proper treatment, this can lead to inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

At Corona Smile Shoppe, periodontal care includes professional deep cleanings (also called scaling and root planing), routine gum health evaluations, and guidance for at-home oral hygiene. In more advanced cases, we may use antibiotics or refer for surgical therapy. The goal is always the same: to keep your gums strong, your teeth secure, and your whole-body health protected.

Benefits of Periodontal Care

Stops Gum Disease in Its Tracks

Early intervention can prevent gum disease from progressing to more serious stages, reducing your risk of tooth loss and infection.

Protects Your Overall Health

Healthy gums are linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic conditions.

Boosts Your Confidence

Treating gum disease can reduce bad breath, improve your gumline appearance, and help you feel better about your smile.

The Periodontal Care Treatment Process

What To Expect From The Periodontal Care Process
Periodontal treatment typically takes place over a few appointments, depending on how advanced the condition is. For many patients, deep cleaning treatments are completed over two visits, followed by maintenance appointments every few months to keep gum health on track.

First Appointment: Consultation

During your initial visit, Dr. Martinez will perform a gentle yet thorough examination of your teeth and gums, measuring pocket depths and checking for signs of inflammation or bone loss. He’ll walk you through your diagnosis and explain the best treatment options based on your individual needs.

Second Appointment: Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)

If treatment is recommended, the next step is scaling and root planing — a deep cleaning process that removes plaque and bacteria from below the gumline. We’ll also smooth out the tooth roots to help the gums reattach and heal. Depending on the severity of gum disease, this may be completed in one or two sessions.

Final Appointment: Follow-Up & Maintenance Plan

After your initial treatment, we’ll bring you in for a follow-up to check your progress and make sure your gums are responding well. We’ll also help set up a personalized maintenance schedule and at-home care plan to keep your gums healthy for the long term.
