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.
