Periodontal Maintenance | Georgetown Sedation Dentistry

Gum disease, if left untreated, can cause gum recession, bad breath, and even tooth loss. Our expert periodontal care addresses these symptoms to keep your gums healthy and your smile bright.

What Is Periodontal Maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance refers to the treatment that prevents and manages gum disease. It involves cleaning your teeth and gums to eliminate plaque and tartar, as well as monitoring and treating any signs of gum disease, such as:

Persistent bad breath
Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Receding gums
Loose or shifting teeth
Pus between gums and teeth
Changes in your bite or the way your teeth fit together

Our Periodontal Maintenance Services

At Georgetown Sedation Dentistry, we combine advanced technology and gentle care to provide the best results. Our team uses ultrasonic scalers to remove stubborn plaque and tartar around your gums. This technology allows for a more comfortable cleaning experience while effectively eliminating bacteria.

For patients with advanced gum disease, we offer laser therapy. We identify the infected areas of your gums and use focused light energy to remove damaged tissue. Since laser therapy is non-invasive, the area heals faster after the procedure.

Finally, we work using the AIRFLOW® air polisher, a device that emits a stream of air, water, and fine powder to get rid of stains and plaque around your gums.
