Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is the most common disease in adults. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and affect your overall health. Periodontal disease has been shown to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and pregnancy complications. Dr. Joo and his hygienist are committed to preventing and eliminating this destructive disease among our patients through non-surgical periodontal therapy.

We focus on eliminating:

* Tartar and Plaque Below the Gum Line
* Detoxifying Root Surfaces Where the Disease Occurs

Our goals for soft tissue management include:

* Gums that Do Not Bleed
* Fresher Breath and Taste
* Reattachment of Gum Tissue to Tooth Surface
* Smoothing of Enamel and Root Surfaces
* Reducing Bacteria in Pockets
* Decreasing Pocket Depths
* Controlling Periodontal Disease
