If periodontal disease currently affects you, there are several issues that you will need to worry about. Over time, attachment loss caused by periodontal disease can cause tooth loss. There is also evidence that issues with your periodontal health may impact your overall health in worrying ways. Fortunately, our practice is prepared to help you understand the effect periodontal disease is having, and we are prepared to help you fight your infection.
With modern diagnostic imaging technology, we can show you how periodontal disease has already affected your gums. With this information, we can also determine how serious your condition is, and what kind of treatment might be right for you. We do provide several modern, patient-friendly solutions for your troubles. We can use lasers to trim away infected tissues in order to remove bacteria, and encourage the growth of healthy gums over time. We can also use ozone therapy to directly attack the harmful microbes responsible for damaging your periodontal tissues.
With better daily practices, you can put up a more effective defense against gum disease over time. Brushing and flossing thoroughly will help you keep bacteria from gathering at your gum line and building up beneath your gums. If you use tobacco products, quitting can make it easier for you to avoid future infections. For patients who want an effective method of fighting periodontal bacteria between appointments, we can provide Perio Protect, which enables you to apply antibacterial agents directly to your gums.
