Periodontal Care in Fredericksburg, VA.
One of our biggest goals at Central Park Dental is to help keep you free from periodontal (gum) disease. We provide preventive care as well as active treatment so that you can enjoy a healthy, disease-free smile. Periodontal disease is caused by plaque and calculus that build-up on the teeth and gums. If left untreated, it can cause bleeding gums, gum loss, bone loss, and tooth loss. Periodontal disease has even been linked to heart disease, pregnancy complications, diabetes, and stroke. At our office, we provide several periodontal treatments:
- Scaling (one form of deep cleaning)
- Initial Debridement (another deep cleaning procedure)
- Periodontal Maintenance (after the disease has been controlled)
To avoid periodontal disease and lessen your risk for its associated complications, we recommend brushing and flossing daily, maintaining a healthy diet, and visiting the dentist regularly. If it has been over six months since your last visit to the dentist, or if you have gums that bleed, contact our office immediately to receive the care you need.
