What Is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment focuses on the health of the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease (periodontitis) occurs when plaque and bacteria build up below the gumline, leading to inflammation, bleeding, gum recession, and even tooth loss if left untreated.
At Perkadent, we provide a full range of periodontal services, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing), gum therapy, and maintenance care, all tailored to your specific needs.
