Periodontal Treatment In Harlem

The health of your mouth is about much more than just your teeth. They’re important, no doubt, but so are your gums, tongue, cheeks, and other oral tissues! The periodontal aspect of our Harlem dentist’s office is all about making sure your oral tissues are healthy so they can support your teeth and your overall well-being.

Gum Disease

One of the most common periodontal issues we treat is gum disease. If you’re suffering with red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums, come in for an appointment with us and we’ll help you get your gum health back on track. Almost all gum disease is reversible, so let’s get your mouth healthy and feeling good again.

Oral Cancer Screenings

When you come in for a cleaning or a bi-annual checkup, we’ll also take a closer look at your oral tissues to make sure they look healthy. Keeping up with bi-annual checkups is a great way to prevent oral cancer as, when we see you every six months, we can often catch it early if there is a problem and take steps to address it right away.

Periodontal Care Tips

We’ll also share tips with you that will help you prevent periodontal problems before they start. Brushing and flossing are a great first step, and upping your game to do those more frequently while also adding mouthwash and reducing sugar intake can make a positive impact, too.

Let’s work together to maximize your oral health for a lifetime. See you soon!
