Periodontics in Halifax
Healthy gums play an important role in maintaining a healthy smile. At Lawen Dentistry, Spring Garden, periodontal care focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Early care can help protect your gums, preserve your natural teeth, and support your long-term oral health.
How Periodontal Treatment Works
Your periodontal care begins with a consultation at Lawen Dentistry, Spring Garden. Dr. Daniel Lawen will examine your gums, assess the health of the supporting tissues around your teeth, and look for signs of gum disease or inflammation.
If treatment is needed, a personalized plan will be created based on the severity of your condition. Early-stage gum disease may be managed with professional cleanings and improved home care, while more advanced cases may require deep-cleaning procedures, such as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gumline.
Regular periodontal maintenance appointments help monitor your progress and support the long-term health of your gums. Consistent oral hygiene habits at home are also an important part of preventing future problems.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the area of dentistry dedicated to the health of the gums, jawbone, and other tissues that support your teeth. When plaque and bacteria accumulate below the gumline, they can lead to inflammation and infection, increasing the risk of gum disease.
In its early stages, gum disease may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, or bleeding while brushing and flossing. If left untreated, it can progress and affect the bone and connective tissues that hold the teeth in place.
Periodontal care may include:
- Comprehensive gum evaluations
- Deep dental cleanings
- Scaling and root planing
- Management of gum disease
- Periodontal maintenance
- Monitoring the health of the gums and supporting tissues
Protecting the health of your gums is an essential part of maintaining a healthy smile.
