If after a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth and gums, Dr. Mancuso determines that you have gum disease, he may recommend a Periodontal Therapy. Many refer to this as a "deep cleaning". Gum disease, or Periodontitis, is a chronic disease that affects the gums and jaw bone. In the United States it affects over 50% of individuals over 30 years of age and over 80% of those over 70 years of age. The only signs and symptoms may be bad breath and bleeding from the gums when you brush and floss.
Gum Disease Treatment at Our Dentist Office in Tampa
Dr. Mancuso offers non-surgical gum disease treatment that removes plaque, tartar and bacteria from the teeth and gums. This treatment is called Scaling and Root Planing or “Periodontal Therapy”
For everyone else, a routine dental cleaning from our efficient, thorough hygienists is generally sufficient. The only real way to know for certain, however, is to come in to our dentist office for a thorough examination and cleaning so we can assess the state of your gums.
Remember that the earlier gum disease is detected, the easier it is to treat.
