If you let a problem with periodontal disease go untreated, it can become a real concern for your smile and oral health. Over time, the damage done by an infection can lead to significant attachment loss, which can lead to tooth loss. With our advanced diagnostic imaging technology, we can review the current condition of your gums to determine what kind of care you might require.
For people with periodontal disease, supportive periodontal maintenance can be beneficial. Rather than undergoing semiannual dental cleanings, patients with gum disease can receive periodontal maintenance at recommended intervals in order to fight the buildup of bacteria attacking their gums. Through these persistent treatments, we can control your condition and protect your tissues.
In cases where a person’s gingivitis has not progressed to periodontal disease, we can use a scaling and root planing to remove the agents causing infection. This process can potentially stop an infection and return your gums to good health, which can stop the problem from worsening.
Our practice offers several modern solutions for periodontal disease. We can use laser treatments to remove infected tissues, which can lead to the growth of healthy gums in their place. We also have the ability to attack unwelcome microbes while preserving healthy tissues through ozone therapy. For care between appointments, we can provide you with Perio Protect. Perio Protect gives you a special tray and antibacterial agents to fight harmful microbes at home!
