PERIODONTAL TREATMENT

In an effort to keep your entire smile healthy and strong, we provide high-quality gum treatment in Salem, Massachusetts. Periodontal treatment includes methods and measures used to take care of the gums and soft tissues of your mouth. Your gums play an important role in your smile, supporting your teeth and holding blood vessels and nerves. This area can be easily prone to infection and decay, especially when faced with poor oral hygiene habits or an unbalanced diet. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is the most common condition that afflicts the gums. It causes pain and inflammation of the gums, often making the gums bleed. If left untreated, it can result in tooth and bone loss. To protect your teeth and save your smile, we offer multiple types of periodontal treatment.

Periodontal treatment will be recommended based on your individual case and needs. Our caring dentists, Dr. Bansal, Dr. Chawla, and Dr. Jun, specialize in scaling and root planing, which are powerful deep cleaning methods to remove infected gum tissue and protect your smile. If your case is severe, we may recommend you visit a periodontist, which is a dentist who specializes in periodontal care. If your gums are in pain, we encourage you to contact us immediately to schedule an appointment so we can provide you with relief as soon as possible. Our team at Salem Family Dental Care is dedicated to treating all of the conditions that may harm your smile.
