PERIODONTAL DISEASE THERAPY

Gum health is a critical component of overall oral wellness. When left untreated, periodontal disease (gum disease) can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and systemic health complications. At Dental Innovations in Perrysburg, we specialize in comprehensive periodontal disease therapy to help patients restore and maintain healthy gums.

Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria buildup in plaque, which leads to gum inflammation, bleeding, and eventual infection. In its early stage, known as gingivitis, symptoms may be mild, but if left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, where deep pockets form between the gums and teeth, increasing the risk of tooth mobility and loss.

Some signs you should look out for that may suggest you need Periodontal Therapy include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession that makes teeth appear longer, loose or shifting teeth, and pain or discomfort when chewing.
