Our team often takes a holistic approach to treating issues like periodontal disease. With these treatments, we can prevent the disease or manage it to keep your smile whole and free of major discomfort. In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about how we safeguard smiles with periodontal disease using Ozone Therapy.
The Signs You Need Treatment
Your general dentist may refer you to our office after a checkup if the warning signs of gingivitis and gum disease are present. But you can schedule an appointment yourself when these potential warning signs arise. Common indicators of inflammation or the early stages of periodontal disease include sore gums that look red, swell, recede, or bleed easily. When these symptoms arise, you need care to avoid the late stage, which is connected to adult tooth loss. In the early stages, we can prevent the disease or manage it with our holistic treatments, including Ozone Therapy.
A Holistic Approach
Ozone Therapy offers a comfortable and holistic approach, one that is minimally invasive and helps restore the overall health of your smile, so you avoid recession and a risk of tooth loss. Our team will administer the treatment in a gas or liquid form. Oxygen causes the harmful oral bacteria, the kind that can cause periodontal disease or worsen it, to die. At the same time, this doesn’t impact healthy bacterial, helping your smile’s biome healthy and active. This destroys the harmful bacteria in both your gums and on the surfaces of your teeth, so the risk of cavities lowers as well. The process takes one visit, and helps manage your periodontal health so your smile can stay healthy and strong!
Periodontal Maintenance
What happens after treatment? In the months to come, we may recommend a cleaning or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to control plaque and tartar buildup and keep inflammation in check, so your smile doesn’t become vulnerable to more severe stages of the disease. While gum disease cannot be cured, we can use our preventive and holistic treatments to manage it so you enjoy good oral health for months and years to come. If you have any questions about the Ozone Therapy process, or if you’re ready to schedule an appointment, then contact our team today to learn more. We look forward to helping you enjoy optimal oral health!
