Periodontics

Keeping the health of your teeth and gums in optimum condition is essential for your oral health and wellbeing of the entire body. It’s estimated that 75% of American adults suffer from some form of gum disease; ranging anywhere from gingivitis to the more severe periodontitis. Periodontics in our Raleigh dental office is focused around the prevention and treatment of gum disease of all forms to protect your gums, your teeth, and your total body wellness.

When early gum disease is neglected, it advances into periodontitis. Periodontitis is a condition that has the potential to permanently damage your gums and eventually lead to tooth loss or other health conditions. Studies have shown direct links between periodontitis and health conditions such as:

  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Respiratory Disease
  • Diabetes
  • Osteoporosis
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Pregnancy complications

During any hygiene exam with dentist in Raleigh, Dr. Staehling, a periodontal evaluation is completed to determine the best cleaning approach for your individual needs. When gum disease is suspected, our hygiene team implements the latest techniques in periodontal gum therapy, including what’s called scaling and root planing, and treatment with periodontal medicaments for more severe problem areas.

The goal of periodontics in Raleigh by our dentist and hygiene team is to treat any signs of gum disease before it becomes unmanageable. Dr. Staehling takes the time to discuss the condition of your gum health with you, clearly communicating any necessary gum therapy needed and recommending a maintenance plan. Regular hygiene checkups with our team are the best way to prevent the return of gum disease after treatment has been completed.

At Southern Dental Arts, Dr. Staehling and our team believe that proactive, preventive dental care is among the most important steps to ensuring your oral health and general wellbeing are in the best condition possible. Visit Dr. Staehling for a personalized dental experience that focuses on you as a whole person, not just your smile.
