PERIODONTICS
Proactive Care with Periodontal Maintenance
At Amelia Dental Group, our skilled team is dedicated to providing a comprehensive range of dental services, including periodontal maintenance, to help patients preserve optimal oral health and prevent the recurrence of gum disease. Periodontal maintenance involves regular dental cleanings and examinations, specifically tailored to patients who have previously undergone treatment for periodontal disease. These specialized cleanings focus on removing plaque and tartar buildup both above and below the gumline, along with monitoring the patient's gum health to promptly address any signs of inflammation or infection.
- Scaling & Root Planing:
Scaling and root planing are non-surgical procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line, followed by smoothing the root surfaces to prevent further bacterial growth and promote healing.

Gum Disease
In the U.S., an estimated three out of four adults have some level of gum disease, and many don’t realize it. Gum disease is inflammation and infection of the gums and the surrounding tissue. Generally caused by bacterial plaque, it is the biggest cause of adult tooth loss.

How Gum Disease Develops
Plaque is a thin, colorless film of bacteria in your mouth that develops on your teeth. Left untreated, bacterial plaque will harden to tartar. A rough, porous mineral buildup, usually yellow or brown in color, tartar forms at and underneath the gum line. Plaque bacteria in tartar excrete toxins that cause gum inflammation, resulting in the development of periodontal pockets. This condition can lead to bone loss, loosening of the teeth, and eventually tooth loss.

A Bigger Problem
Gum disease can wreak havoc on your mouth, but it can also cause other health concerns. Research has linked gum disease to problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and complications with diabetes. Because the symptoms are initially mild, many people don’t realize they have gum disease, which can allow the condition to worsen. You may have an increased risk for gum disease if you smoke, have diabetes, take certain medications, endure excessive stress, or don’t eat properly.
