Periodontal Treatment

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Dr. Wong provides comprehensive periodontal (gum) care to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease at every stage.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It’s one of the most common dental conditions, and when left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to systemic health issues.

Signs to Watch For

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding when brushing or flossing
• Persistent bad breath
• Receding gums
• Loose or shifting teeth

Our Approach

Dr. Wong takes a thorough, personalized approach to periodontal care:

• Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria and tartar below the gumline
• Regular periodontal maintenance to keep gum disease under control
• Patient education on proper home care techniques
• Monitoring and follow-up to track your progress

Prevention First

The best treatment for gum disease is prevention. Regular professional cleanings, consistent home care, and routine dental exams are your best defense against periodontal disease.
