Periodontics in Matamoros: care for your gums
Periodontics deals with the gums and the bone that support your teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation of any treatment: without them, crowns, implants and braces lack good support.
Signs worth checking
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss.
- Red, swollen or receding gums.
- Persistent bad breath.
- Teeth that feel loose or have drifted apart.
These signs can have other causes. Only an evaluation can tell.
What it includes
Periodontal exam
Gum measurements and X-rays to see whether there is loss of support.
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
Removes tartar and plaque below the gumline, where a toothbrush can't reach.
Periodontal maintenance
Regular cleanings and check-ups to keep gum disease under control.
Preparation for other treatment
Healthy gums before crowns, implants or orthodontics.
The right treatment for your case is defined at your evaluation.
