The right approach to oral hygiene can stop you from experiencing problems with gingivitis. Whenever you brush and floss, you remove both food particles and bacteria that have gathered. Doing so on a consistent basis prevents the formation of plaque and tartar deposits, lowering your risk for gingivitis. To make sure your gums are properly protected, make sure that you take the time to clean at the base of your teeth to keep bacteria from gathering at your gum line.
By scheduling a periodontal cleaning, or scaling and root planing, you can arrange the removal of bacteria that are present below your gum line. The removal of bacteria from the roots of your teeth will stop an infection from worsening, and allow your tissues to heal and return to normal. When gingivitis is treated in time, the problem can be stopped before there are complications.
Thanks to our diagnostic imaging technology, our practice can determine just how serious your infection has become. If you are showing signs of periodontal disease, we offer different procedures that help to protect your gums from the lasting harm of periodontal disease. One treatment we offer is ozone therapy, which uses concentrated oxygen to destroy harmful bacteria. This treatment manages to remove unwanted microbes while leaving beneficial bacteria alone, which makes it easier for your mouth to sustain its natural ecosystem.
