Periodontitis is a serious condition affecting the gums and the bone structures supporting your teeth. It leads to gum recession, tooth loss, and ultimately, tooth decay. At Gallardo Periodontics & Implant Dentistry in Miami, FL, we offer a range of treatments for periodontitis, including antibiotics, surgery, and laser therapy. However, some of these options may not always be effective and can come with significant side effects.
Non-surgical treatments, such as scaling and root planing, are highly effective in managing periodontal disease. Understanding the benefits of these non-surgical options can help individuals maintain optimal oral health.
Non-surgical treatments are designed to control and halt the progression of gum disease. Procedures like scaling and root planing effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup, reduce gum inflammation, and prevent further damage to the gums and surrounding structures.

If you are suffering from periodontitis, non-surgical periodontal therapy might be the ideal solution to address your condition without causing harm to your mouth. On this page, we will delve into how non-surgical periodontal therapy works and why it may be the best choice for treating periodontitis.
Often, early-stage periodontal disease responds well to non-surgical periodontal therapy. This typically involves using a fine ultrasonic cleaning tip to remove plaque and calculus from beneath the gum line during root planing. In less severe cases, reducing the depth of infected gum pockets can help eliminate diseased areas.
Following this treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing is crucial. Gum disease can result from various factors, including poor oral hygiene, smoking, teeth grinding, certain medications, pregnancy, and genetics. Early intervention is key to reversing gum disease and preserving both gum and overall health.
Consider the following questions:
Answering “yes” to any of these questions could indicate a gum infection. Without appropriate treatment, gum disease can impact not just your dental health but your overall well-being, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. The only way to confirm whether you have periodontitis is to consult a specialized periodontist. In our practice, even severe cases of periodontal disease often start with non-surgical periodontal therapy. This approach helps improve tissue quality before considering surgery and minimizes the extent of surgical intervention required.
