Our gum tissues become infected when oral bacteria at the base of our teeth move under our gum line and begin to gather on our roots. When this happens, you can first experience issues because of gingivitis, the first stage of an infection. The right oral hygiene efforts, as well as preventive periodontal care, can stop the problem from worsening and return your periodontal tissues to a healthy state. However, if you experience problems with a more severe infection, it can become more difficult to manage the matter and preserve your well-being. This is a serious concern, as periodontal disease can cause tooth loss and make your overall health more difficult to manage.
With our diagnostic imaging technology, we can perform reviews that let patients know what kind of health issues they need managed. Based on your results, we can determine if you can benefit from preventive services, or see if you need to undergo something more involved. The services available to you include holistic treatment options like ozone therapy and PRP therapy, as well as services with laser tools that carefully remove infected tissues.
Your treatment options include services that respond to the problems caused by advanced gum disease. Laser periodontal treatment removes bacteria and infected tissues in order to encourage the growth of healthy gums and ligaments. To fight bacteria that are harmful without disrupting your mouth’s healthy ecosystem, we can recommend that you undergo ozone therapy. PRP therapy relies on platelet-rich plasma to encourage your natural growth processes to help you recover from tissue damage.
