When should you see a periodontist for treatment? Some may be referred by their general dentist or orthodontist, but you can also schedule an appointment on your own when you experience the common warning signs of periodontal disease. For example, if you notice your gums feel sore, look red, or bleed easily, this could mean the presence of the disease. If there is swelling or the opposite, the tissues receding to make teeth appear long, then you could have a more advanced stage. Treatment to manage the disease is crucial for avoiding the onset of adult tooth loss!
With the REPAIR with WaterLase system, we will use a dental laser that is accompanied by a gentle stream of running water to remove diseased tissues and reshape the gum line in the process. Our team can trim away diseased tissues so healthy ones can reattach to the teeth, and reshape the gum line in the process. We want you to enjoy better oral health and a more attractive smile at the same time! The lasers help prevent bleeding, infection, and swelling, and treatment only takes one visit. You can usually return to your normal routine in as little as 24 to 48 hours, and the procedure is comfortable, rarely requiring the use of sedation. We can also target treated areas with precision to prevent damage to your healthy tissues.
Following your treatment with dental lasers, we can help you manage your periodontal disease with preventive and holistic treatments moving forward. For example, we can control harmful buildup with a cleaning or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance. We can destroy harmful bacteria and microbes with Ozone Therapy. We can also discuss better care for your smile at home. Our team wants you to be able to smile with confidence and avoid discomfort and the risk of tooth loss.
If you have any questions about how our team will manage your poor oral health and offer a stronger and more attractive smile, often in only one visit, then contact our team today to learn more.
You deserve a smile that is healthy and attractive, and we can help by improving your gums. To learn more about boosting your gum health, call Dr. Ann Kania in Encinitas, CA, today at 760-642-0711.
