Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease, not tooth decay, is the leading cause of dental problems and tooth loss among older adults. Periodontal disease usually results from plaque that’s become trapped below the gum line (where it cannot be removed by brushing and flossing); however, smoking, certain medications, and health conditions can also play a role in gum disease. Without treatment, gum disease causes pain, bleeding gums, and bad breath; it also weakens the tissue and ligaments that support the teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss.
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
How is Periodontal Disease Treated?
One of the best ways to prevent and treat gum disease is to undergo regular dental cleanings, in addition to using medicated mouthwashes and practicing excellent oral hygiene. In more advanced cases, specialized “deep cleaning” procedures, such as scaling or deep planning, may be used to heal the gums. For most patients, these steps are sufficient to control gum disease. In rare cases, however, soft tissue grafts are required to replace areas where the gums have receded significantly.
Our Periodontal Treatment Services
we offer a range of periodontal treatments tailored to meet your individual needs:
Scaling and Root Planing: This non-surgical treatment helps remvoe bacteria and promotes the healing of gum tissue. Scaling and root planing procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
Periodontal Maintenance: After initial periodontal treatment, ongoing maintenance is crucial to prevent recurrence. Our periodontal maintenance program includes regular cleanings, monitoring of gum health, and personalized oral hygiene instructions to keep your gums healthy.
Gum Grafting: Gum grafting can restore the gum line and protect tooth roots from exposure, which involves taking tissue from another part of the mouth to attaching it to the affected area.
Pocket Reduction Surgery: Pocket reduction surgery, also known as flap surgery, reduces the depth of periodontal pockets and helps the gum tissue reattach to healthy bone.
Laser Therapy: This minimally invasive treatment targets and removes infected gum tissue while preserving healthy tissue. It promotes faster healing and reduces discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
