Dental Hygiene and Periodontal Therapy

Maintaining periodontal health is crucial for overall well-being. At Valleyview Dental, we offer comprehensive periodontal therapy to treat and prevent gum disease.

Gum Disease

  • Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning procedures to remove plaque and tartar below the gum line.
  • Importance: Prevents progression of gum disease, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.

Visit Frequencies

  • Routine Check-ups: Every 6 months for general maintenance.
  • More Frequent Visits: Every 3-4 months for patients with periodontal issues.

Health Connections

  • Cardiovascular Health: Gum disease has been linked to heart disease.
  • Diabetes: Poor periodontal health can make diabetes management more difficult.
  • Respiratory Health: Bacteria from gum disease can be inhaled into the lungs, causing infections.
  • Pregnancy: Gum disease is associated with premature births and low birth weight.

 

Regular periodontal therapy helps maintain both oral and overall health.
