Periodontal Therapy in Foothill Ranch, CA, is a comprehensive dental service aimed at treating gum disease and restoring gum health. This therapy is essential for addressing conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which result from plaque buildup and bacterial infection in the gums. During this procedure, a dental professional removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, smooths root surfaces, and may provide additional treatments to encourage healing and reduce inflammation. Periodontal therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing gum tenderness, bleeding, or recession, as well as those seeking to prevent further progression of gum disease. With proper care and maintenance, results include healthier gums, reduced risk of tooth loss, and improved overall oral health.

Before your appointment, gently brush and floss to avoid irritating inflamed gums, inform your dentist of any medical conditions or medications you are taking, and be prepared to discuss symptoms such as bleeding gums or sensitivity. Periodontal therapy typically begins with a thorough assessment of your gum health, including measurements of pocket depths and evaluation of gum recession. The operation may involve scaling and root planing, where plaque and tartar are removed from below the gumline, and root surfaces are smoothed to encourage reattachment of the gums. In advanced cases, additional treatments such as antibiotics or laser therapy may be suggested to remove persistent infection. Follow-up care is vital in order to ensure long-term success and monitor healing over time. Follow all post-treatment guidance by your dentist, including taking any prescribed medications to prevent further issues.
