Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment

Gum disease is one of the most common diseases in the United States, affecting about 80% of American adults to some degree. Thankfully, regular periodontal screenings and proper oral hygiene can help to control the disease without the need for more drastic restorative dentistry treatments at our New Hampshire practice. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Viola and Dr. Whitcomb encourage their patients to schedule regular oral exams, even if they are not experiencing mouth pain at the time.

Gum disease is caused by plaque and tartar, the latter of which can only be removed through a professional cleaning by a dentist or hygienist. When left untreated, the buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to periodontitis, a disease that leads to the eventual destruction of the bones, gums, and other tissues that support the teeth. If you consult a dentist early enough in the progression of the disease, however, there is a good chance that the infection can be controlled through deep cleaning and medication.

If you are experiencing gum pain or other signs of periodontal disease, we can help to restore your oral health with an array of restorative dentistry treatments at our New Hampshire practice. If you believe your teeth and gums are perfectly healthy, our dentists can help to prevent the onset or the progression of gum disease through regular screenings and gentle cleanings.
