Periodontal Treatment

Improve your overall health with regular periodontal treatments from Dr. Lenz. Studies show a link between periodontal disease (gum disease) and heart disease or stroke. Gum disease typically starts as gingivitis, a red irritation of the gums. To help control that risk, regular cleanings of the root surfaces near the gum line is necessary to remove the plaque, tartar and bacteria that cause gingivitis. This simple procedure can also help prevent infection that can lead to bad breath.
