Periodontal Care

Unfortunately, gum disease (periodontal disease) is a major cause of tooth loss that can cause several serious health problems if left untreated. Periodontal disease is caused by excess plaque buildup, which can harbor toxic bacteria that attack your gums. Generally, gum tissue affected by periodontal disease is swollen, red, and more prone to bleeding than healthy gum tissue. If you are seeing any of these signs, we highly recommend that you come to Spring Lake Dental Care for treatment as soon as possible. If periodontal disease is detected and treated early, Dr. Peter Ciampi can help you reverse the damage and regain healthy gums. For those with advanced periodontal disease who are threatened with tooth loss (or who have already lost teeth), we also offer a variety of cosmetic and restorative procedures that can bring back health and beauty to your smile.

Therapeutic Periodontal Maintenance

Though twice-daily brushing and flossing are excellent for maintaining the health of your teeth and gums between visits, regular examinations and cleanings are an absolute necessity for a healthy mouth. In addition to providing the usual tooth polishing and cavity check during your exam, we also complete a thorough check of your gums and the gingival pockets to detect any signs of gingivitis and periodontal disease early.
