At Brunnett Dentistry, we are trained and highly capable of treating early to moderate-stage periodontal disease. We often recommend more frequent appointments every 3-4 months to stay ahead of the disease process. In the case of more severe periodontal disease and bone loss, we will make the referral to a trusted periodontist for a surgical consult.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes. Symptoms include red, swollen gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and bleeding while brushing or flossing. Our comprehensive periodontal treatments, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) and personalized oral hygiene education, help control the disease and protect your long-term oral health.
