Periodontal Treatment
You can brush and floss every day, and still you may be a victim. Young or old, age doesn't matter. Gum disease is the number-one cause of adult tooth loss and can contribute to increased risk for heart disease and other serious health issues, according to the latest studies. The bad news is, there's no cure. The good news is, effective periodontal treatment can keep gum disease under control.
Dr. Britton uses modern dental technology to diagnose gum disease. Our Florida Probe features a titanium tip to relay information about your gum health to a computer. Then, using the information we gather, we base our periodontal treatment on your individual needs. Some patients may simply require a cleaning, while others may need scaling, root planing, and/or antibiotic treatment. To be certain your soft tissues remain healthy after we reverse gum disease, Dr. Britton and our hygienist will teach you how to improve your homecare routine.
