Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar along the gumline. Over time, as more plaque and tartar accumulate, pockets can develop between the teeth and gums. Once this happens, the ingredients of periodontal disease have greater access to the most vulnerable parts of your mouth. If treatment isn’t administered promptly, gum tissue loss and bone loss can occur.
Thankfully, help is possible with a pair of services known as scaling and root planing in Encinitas. This pair of procedures provides patients just like you with hope in the face of a destructive and pervasive disease—a disease that can just as easily affect your overall health in addition to your oral health.
