When you experience sore, red, and bleeding gums, or if you notice your tissues pulling back and receding, then you need to see our team for a diagnosis. You could be suffering from gingivitis or gum disease, and care is crucial for managing these concerns and preventing the onset of adult tooth loss. Our team will take a close look at your smile with digital imaging technology, so we can make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. For some, we could offer a scaling and root planing to manage the early stages, or we could conduct laser treatment to address a more severe case. Afterward, care is needed to manage and control inflammation, and this could include the Perio Protect trays.
Our team will provide a set of plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth and are used to deliver a special medicated gel directly to the gums. This gel helps destroy harmful oral bacteria to control inflammation, but at the same time leave healthy bacteria intact to protect your smile’s biome. The trays are easy to use and can travel with you as needed. Our team will go over their proper use in detail, so you know to employ them daily to protect your oral health.
Along with the Perio Protect trays, our team could also help with other holistic preventive treatments, such as Ozone Therapy, Supportive Periodontal Maintenance, antimicrobial medications, and even routine cleanings every three to four months. These actions help keep inflammation in check so you avoid the onset of periodontitis, the advanced stage of the disease that is linked to adult tooth loss. If you have any of the symptoms we discussed in today’s blog, or if you would liken to schedule a consultation with our team for an exam, then contact our office today. We want to help you enjoy good gum health and a full smile, and that starts with a simple initial visit.
