There is a line in gum disease that matters more than any other. Gingivitis is inflammation of the tissue and it reverses. Periodontitis has taken bone, and bone does not grow back on its own. Everything about treatment depends on which side of that line you are on, which is why measurement comes before recommendation.
At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office stages treatment to the disease rather than running one protocol for everybody. Early cases respond to scaling and root planing, advanced cases need surgical care, and everyone who has had it needs ongoing maintenance afterward.
Dr. Calvin Kaler leads our Palm Beach Gardens office on Burns Road, where pocket depths are charted and shown to you rather than summarised.
