Periodontal Disease
Here at Dentistry of Indiana, we are committed to providing you not only a beautiful smile, but one with a healthy foundation … your gums.
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a chronic infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It begins with inflammation caused by plaque buildup and can progress to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated.
How Periodontal Disease Is Treated
Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and is focused on stopping infection and restoring gum health. Early stages may be managed with professional cleanings and improved home care, while more advanced cases may require deep cleanings, targeted therapies, and ongoing periodontal maintenance. Regular monitoring helps prevent progression and supports long-term stability.
Connection to Overall Health
Gum disease is closely linked to overall health and has been associated with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and systemic inflammation. Treating periodontal disease not only protects your smile but also supports your body’s overall wellness.
Our goal is to provide personalized, effective care to restore gum health and help you maintain a healthy foundation for life.
