People who have a buildup of oral bacteria at their gum line can start to develop symptoms of gingivitis, the first stage of a periodontal infection. If the problem is not addressed in time through the appropriate preventive periodontal measures, it can worsen and progress to periodontal disease. When this occurs, bacteria that attack your gums can cause inflammation, and permanent damage to tissues that support your teeth.
While periodontal disease is caused by bacteria, not all bacteria are responsible for the harm done by an infection. With ozone therapy, we can preserve those healthy microbes, which help your mouth naturally fight off the effects of periodontal disease.
Through ozone therapy, we can directly take on the unhealthy anaerobic bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Your treatment can involve an application of liquid or gas in order to clear away those unwelcome microbes affecting you. Through this procedure, and regular care to fight the accumulation of new bacteria, we can help you maintain your smile, and better guard yourself against tissue damage that can lead to problems like tooth loss.
Unchecked periodontal disease can do significant harm to your smile. The problems associated with this condition are the leading cause for adult tooth loss. Your condition can also lead to problems with your general health, as microbes that cause inflammation may make you more vulnerable to problems like heart disease! Through a range of modern services, we can help you manage your periodontal health. In addition to offering care like ozone therapy in our office, we can provide you with Perio Protect so you can fight bacteria at home.
At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal office, we offer ozone therapy to help patients fight the buildup of harmful bacteria that cause issues with gum disease. To learn more about Dr. Kania’s modern approach to periodontal care, contact her office today at (760) 642-0711.
