Kerry J. Shimizu, DDS Dentist
Near Huntington Harbour What are treatments we offer for periodontal disease?

Laser treatment – This can be used to reduce the size of the pockets between the teeth and the gums. Tissue & bone grafting – Where a considerable amount of bone or gum tissue has been destroyed, the dentist may elect to graft new tissue by inserting a membrane to stimulate tissue growth. Pocket elimination surgery – The dentist may choose to perform “flap surgery” to directly reduce the size of t

he gum pockets. How can preventing/treating periodontal disease impact overall health & wellness? Periodontal disease is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gum tissue, periodontal infection below the gum line and a presence of disease-causing bacteria in the oral region. Halting the progression of periodontal disease and maintaining excellent standards of oral hygiene will not only reduce the risk of gum disease and bone loss, but also reduce the chances of developing other serious illnesses.
