Periodontal Therapy in Boca Raton, FL

Typical symptoms include swollen or bleeding gums, loose teeth, weakened oral bones, persistent bad breath, and gum recession, where teeth start to look longer than they used to.

Gingivitis is the mild, early form of gum disease, when gums are inflamed but the damage is still reversible with professional cleaning and better home care. Periodontitis is the advanced form, where infection begins to damage the bone and tissue that hold your teeth. Regular dental cleanings are one of the best ways to stop gingivitis before it gets there.

The team will also show you how to clean effectively at home, because daily care is what keeps the result. If you join the Periodontal Membership Plan, your plan includes three perio maintenance visits a year to keep your gums under regular watch.

Yes. The practice treats periodontitis promptly no matter what stage it has reached, in order to prevent advanced inflammation or serious dental damage. Later stages need more involved care, which is one more reason to come in at the first sign of bleeding or swelling rather than waiting for pain.
