Periodontic
At Alo Dental, we offer comprehensive periodontic treatments to prevent, manage, and treat gum disease. Our services range from routine care like scaling and polishing to advanced procedures such as root planing and periodontal surgery—all designed to restore and maintain your gum health for the long term.
What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the supporting structures of the teeth, especially the gums and bone. Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) can lead to swelling, bleeding, bad breath, gum recession, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.
Our Periodontal Treatments Include:
Scaling & Polishing – Removal of plaque and tartar buildup above the gum line to prevent gum disease.
Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) – Cleans below the gum line to smooth the root surfaces and remove bacteria.
Periodontal Surgery – For advanced cases, surgery may be needed to remove deep infection or regenerate lost gum and bone tissue.
Signs You May Need Gum Treatment:
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Persistent bad breath
Gum recession or "longer-looking" teeth
Loose or shifting teeth
Discomfort when chewing
