Questions

Frequently asked

What are the signs of gum disease?+

Bleeding, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, or receding gums. Early treatment makes a big difference.

Is scaling & root planing painful?+

It’s done with numbing, so it’s comfortable; some mild tenderness afterward is normal.

Do I need a referral to see the Periodontist?+

No — you can see Dr. Ho directly.

Can gum disease be reversed?+

Early gum disease (gingivitis) is often reversible; more advanced disease can be controlled and managed to protect your teeth.

What is PRP and how does it help?+

Platelet-rich plasma uses growth factors from your own blood to speed healing and support tissue and bone regeneration after procedures.
