About Periodontal Disease
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal Disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a serious infection that affects the gums, and if left untreated, can damage the soft tissue and destroy the bone that supports your teeth. It begins with bacterial growth in the mouth, and if not managed, can progress to tooth loss.
Periodontal Disease and Overall Health
Periodontal disease is linked to several systemic health conditions, suggesting it may play a role in worsening these diseases.
- Diabetes: People with diabetes are more prone to gum disease due to increased infection risk. In turn, periodontal disease can make blood sugar harder to control, complicating diabetes management.
- Heart Disease: Inflammation from gum disease may raise the risk of heart disease and worsen existing conditions, with some patients requiring antibiotics before dental procedures.
- Respiratory Disease: Bacteria from gum infections can enter the lungs, potentially leading to respiratory issues like pneumonia.
- Cancer: Studies show a higher likelihood of kidney, pancreatic, and blood cancers in individuals with gum disease.
- Alzheimer’s Disease: Gum disease bacteria may reach the brain, contributing to the progression of Alzheimer’s.
What is Periodontal Endoscope Therapy (PET)?
Periodontal Endoscopic Therapy (PET) is a breakthrough technique that enables precise treatment of periodontal disease. A periodontal endoscope is a thin, flexible tool with a tiny camera and light source at its tip. It’s small enough to be gently inserted into periodontal pockets, allowing the clinician to view real-time, high-resolution images of the tooth and root surfaces on a monitor. PET provides a real-time view of the gumline, allowing for highly accurate cleaning and treatment without the need for more invasive surgery.
Key Benefits of PET
Pinpoint Accuracy: Ensure more precise and effective cleaning of affected areas.
Less Invasive: Compared to traditional surgical options, PET offers a gentler approach with quicker recovery times. No cut, No sew!
Early Detection: Catch problems early before they develop into more serious issues
Surgical Alternative: PET often eliminates the need for surgical intervention while still providing excellent results.

Gum Disease / Symptoms
Periodontal disease, often called gum disease, is a chronic infection that affects the supporting tissues around your teeth. While poor oral hygiene and bacteria play a role, genetics is one of the strongest risk factors. Some people are more prone to gum disease even with good home care, which is why early diagnosis and professional treatment are so important.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal Endoscope Therapy (PET) is a highly advanced, minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease. Using a fiber-optic camera with up to 100x magnification, PET allows the hygienist to see deep beneath the gumline to precisely remove bacteria and calculus that cause infection.
