What Is Periodontal Care?

Periodontal care focuses on the health of the gums and supporting structures around your teeth. When plaque and bacteria accumulate below the gumline, they can cause inflammation, infection, and bone loss if left untreated.

Treatment may range from deep cleanings to ongoing maintenance visits, depending on the severity of the condition. At Wynkoop Dentistry, we tailor periodontal treatment plans to help stop disease progression, restore gum health, and support long-term stability.

Benefits of Periodontal Care

Treating gum disease early can make a significant difference in both oral and overall health. Here’s how periodontal care helps:

Supports Overall Health

Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. Treating inflammation in the mouth supports whole-body wellness.

Preserves Natural Teeth

Healthy gums provide the support your teeth need. Periodontal care reduces the risk of tooth mobility and tooth loss.

Stops Gum Disease Progression

Targeted treatment removes harmful bacteria and helps prevent further damage to gums and bone.

What to Expect

Our periodontal care process is thorough, informative, and focused on your comfort every step of the way.

1

Comprehensive Gum Evaluation

We begin with a detailed assessment of your gum health, measuring pocket depths around your teeth and checking for inflammation, bleeding, or bone changes. Digital imaging may be used to evaluate bone levels and detect areas of concern beneath the surface.

2

Deep Cleaning and Targeted Treatment

If gum disease is present, we may recommend scaling and root planing — a deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to promote healing. Treatment is performed gently and may be completed over one or more visits, depending on your needs.

3

Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance

After treatment, regular maintenance visits are essential to keep gum disease under control. These visits are more specialized than routine cleanings and focus on preventing bacteria from returning to deeper areas around the teeth.

Many dental plans offer partial coverage for periodontal treatment and maintenance. Our team will review your benefits and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins.

Many patients require maintenance visits every three to four months to keep gum disease stable. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your individual condition and response to treatment.

Most patients find periodontal treatment very manageable. We use gentle techniques and can provide local anesthesia when needed to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Common signs include bleeding gums, redness or swelling, persistent bad breath, gum recession, and tenderness. In some cases, gum disease causes little to no discomfort — which is why regular exams are so important.
