Complete evaluation of your gum health: periodontal probing, pocket measurements, bleeding analysis, and tooth mobility assessment.

Frequently asked questions about Periodontics
How do I know if I have gum disease?
The most common symptoms are gums that bleed when brushing, inflammation, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or a feeling of tooth mobility. If you notice any of these signs, it is important to get an evaluation.
Does periodontal treatment hurt?
No. Scaling and root planing is performed with local anesthesia, so the procedure is painless. After treatment, there may be mild temporary sensitivity.
What happens if I don't treat periodontitis?
The infection continues to destroy the bone that holds your teeth, which can lead to mobility, tooth loss, and complications related to overall health (heart disease, diabetes, etc.).
How long does treatment take?
The initial phase is usually completed in one or two sessions. Periodontal control and maintenance is an ongoing process that ensures long-term stability.
