Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some FAQs to help you understand what to expect during treatment for periodontal disease at Sarasota Dental Arts.
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place, typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden.
Treatment varies depending on the severity of the disease and may include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning method), medication, and possibly surgical interventions.
Untreated periodontal disease can lead to severe infection, tooth loss, and has been linked to other serious health issues, including heart disease and diabetes.
Most dental insurance plans offer some coverage for periodontal treatment.
We recommend checking with your insurance provider for details about your specific coverage.
