A Look At Our Holistic Periodontal Treatments

In our latest blog, our team talked about our Ozone Therapy, which provides a holistic approach to improving your gum health. But we have other holistic options to prevent or manage gum disease too! In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist looks at our holistic treatment options, providing options and better home habits to keep your smile whole and healthy, and help you avoid uncomfortable symptoms.

Preventive Treatments

We can offer preventive treatments to help manage the issue and offer better oral health. For example, we could conduct a deep cleaning. Also known as a scaling and root planing, this involves removing all plaque and tartar from not just the teeth, but from the exposed roots and beneath the gum line too. This can reverse inflammation and make the disease manageable moving forward. With a dental cleaning, we can remove buildup from the surfaces of the teeth every three to four months to safeguard your smile. We could also recommend a few minor changes to your daily routine, such as cutting back on stress levels, avoiding tobacco products, and eating a balanced diet low in sugar.

Medications

Our team can also discuss medications to help manage the disease and safeguard your smile. With antimicrobial therapy, we can offer antimicrobials to destroy the harmful bacteria that forms in the mouth, either through systemic medications or a topical application. We could also recommend supplements like Vitamin C, D, and Omega-3 fatty acids to improve gum health. These can also be helpful for fighting inflammation and other serious health concerns.

Better Diets

What you eat matters! When you consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, lean meats, and whole grain items, you provide nutrients that can help your gums and your overall health too. Try to cut back on the amount of sugar and starch you consume too. Our team also offers alternative treatments that can help facilitate healing in the gums and tendons, to repair damage done by the presence of periodontal disease.
