When bacteria on your teeth begin to gather on your roots and attack your periodontal tissues, the infection that results can cause serious issues. Over time, that infection can lead to tissue damage that causes instability and makes tooth extractions necessary. You also need to be aware that accumulating bacteria can enter the bloodstream and affect other parts of your body. Through ozone therapy, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontist can help you manage your condition by directly targeting harmful anaerobic bacteria while leaving healthy microbes alone. This makes it possible for us to control your condition while still preserving your mouth’s healthy ecosystem! (more…)
