At Pearl Dental, led by Dr. Risha de Leon, we prioritize periodontal health to ensure optimal oral health through preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services. Periodontics focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Good oral hygiene practices such as brushing twice daily, daily flossing, and regular dental check-ups every six months are essential to minimize the risk of gum disease.

Recognizing gum disease involves identifying early symptoms such as redness, swelling, bleeding gums, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity for gingivitis, while advanced periodontitis stages include gum recession, pocket formation around the teeth, and potential tooth and bone loss. Our treatment approaches, including scaling and root planing for thorough plaque and tartar removal, are complemented by advanced procedures like antibiotic therapy, gum grafting, laser treatment, and pocket reduction surgery, all tailored to each patient’s specific needs.
