Even if you are not able to show it off as often as you might like, your smile can be an important source of confidence. While people often focus on the connection between healthy teeth and a lovely smile, the condition of your gums is also something that should concern you. A receding gum line is just one of several issues connected to your periodontal health that can make you reluctant to show off your smile. If you are already dealing with the advanced effects of an infection, we can provide services like ozone therapy and PRP therapy to help you feel more comfortable. We also provide laser-assisted gum grafting procedures that can give you back your proper gum line.
Gum tissues can recede over time if you are struggling with poor periodontal health. This problem, along with the destruction of tissues that support teeth, can leave teeth looking long and exposed. In addition to being a cosmetic problem, these changes can lead to more issues with dental sensitivity. If the infection is not addressed, the continued damage to your tissues can actually lead to tooth loss, as teeth will no longer have the support they need to stay secure!
Through diagnostic imaging technology, we can determine how severe a periodontal infection is and recommend treatment. If periodontal disease is already affecting you, we can move from diagnosing the problem to planning treatment. If we catch the infection before gingivitis has turned into a case of periodontal disease, we can perform a scaling and root planing procedure to remove bacteria before your condition worsens.
Periodontal disease can be a problem for your well-being as well as your appearance. To find out how we can help you combat this problem, call Dr. Kania’s periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
