Periodontal disease progresses from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis, threatening tooth loss due to plaque buildup. Treatments vary from professional cleanings for early stages to surgery for advanced cases, emphasizing the importance of early intervention to save teeth and reduce costs. Early periodontal treatment is key to maintaining natural teeth and overall oral health.

Root canal therapy treats and saves teeth with severe decay or infection by removing the nerve and pulp, then cleaning and sealing the tooth. This procedure is necessary for preserving natural teeth and preventing further infection, with symptoms like severe pain and sensitivity indicating the need for treatment.

Tooth extraction is sometimes necessary for optimal oral health, such as in cases of severe decay, damage, improper growth, or for orthodontic reasons. Wisdom teeth often require removal due to impaction, potential for infection, or difficulty in cleaning, which can lead to cavities. 

TMJ/TMD therapy addresses disorders of the temporomandibular joint, which can cause jaw and muscle pain. Diagnosis involves a thorough exam, and treatment can range from self-managed care to nonsurgical interventions like custom mouth guards. These guards are designed to adjust the bite and alleviate symptoms by preventing teeth grinding and clenching.
