Request an AppointmentWhat Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. It develops when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gumline and below the gums, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
Without treatment, periodontal disease can progress and lead to:
- Bleeding gums
- Gum recession
- Persistent bad breath
- Bone loss
- Loose teeth
- Tooth loss
- Increased oral health complications
Early intervention is critical for preserving both your gums and your natural teeth.
Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment
Many people are unaware they have gum disease because symptoms often develop gradually. Regular dental examinations help identify periodontal disease in its earliest stages.
Common signs include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums
- Tooth sensitivity
- Loose teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Changes in bite alignment
If you experience any of these symptoms, scheduling a periodontal evaluation is highly recommended.

At San Angel Dental, treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your gum health and the severity of the infection. Every treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs.
Treatment may include:
- Scaling and Root Planing
- Periodontal Maintenance
- Deep Dental Cleanings
- Antimicrobial Therapy
- Periodontal Monitoring
- Bone Grafting Procedures
- Ongoing Preventive Care
Our goal is to eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help restore the health of your gums.
The Importance of Scaling and Root Planing
One of the most common periodontal treatments is scaling and root planing. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces to discourage future bacterial buildup.
Scaling and root planing can help:
- Reduce gum inflammation
- Decrease periodontal pocket depths
- Promote gum reattachment
- Improve overall gum health
- Slow disease progression
Many patients experience significant improvements following this treatment.

Professional treatment is only one part of successful periodontal disease management. Long-term success depends on maintaining excellent oral hygiene habits at home and attending regular maintenance visits.
We encourage patients to:
- Brush thoroughly twice daily
- Floss every day

Active participation in your care helps protect your results and supports long-term oral health.
