Periodontics | Tucson

Periodontal treatment starts with prevention: regular Tucson periodontal visits and good hygiene habits are excellent precautions to take to avoid gum disease.

The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria in the form of a sticky, colorless plaque that constantly forms on teeth; however, other factors can cause the disease or influence its progression.

Scaling, root planing and local delivery of antimicrobials are progressive Tucson periodontal treatments that treat and prevent the progression of the disease. In some cases, surgical therapy or cosmetic solutions may be necessary to correct the damage from gum disease physically and cosmetically.

Once compromised, gum health can be hard to revitalize, which may eventually lead to tooth loss and the need for dental implants. Dr. Davenport can evaluate your situation in his Tucson dentist office and present the best treatment options for you.
