| We at Dr. Yu and Associates, believe in the overall welfare of our patients but also advocate doing our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Following the mandate from Governor Abbott and the Texas Board of Dental Examiners, we are following distancing guidelines. This includes minimizing the number of patients and team members in the practice at one time. Also, patients are being treated one at a time on a personalized basis. We do require that patients wear face masks and screen themselves prior to visiting. Thank you for your understanding. |

Periodontal therapy is used to remove tartar or calculus underneath gums tissue that is unreachable with regular cleanings. This can be done with mechanical removal with a laser. The presence of tartar allows bacterial plaque to attach to the root surface. The gums can not attach to the contaminated, infected root surface. Thus, bone and attachment loss ensues.
