If you often require support to fight gingivitis, or if you frequently observe signs of infection at home, you can have some understandable concerns about your periodontal health. Effectively fighting gum disease is important – when an infection forms, it can become serious enough to cause tissue damage, make you vulnerable to tooth loss, and put you at risk for general health issues.
Dr. Kania can supply you with Perio Protect, a custom treatment for gum disease that you can use at home. These kits consist of special trays that are custom-made for patients, and antimicrobial agents that target the unwelcome bacteria that create problems for you. Applying these agents directly to your gums will allow you to deal with them before they cause your oral health to worsen.
In addition to using diagnostic imaging technology to evaluate your gums, we can provide services to help you if you have gingivitis and want to prevent your infection from worsening. By performing a scaling and root planing procedure, we are able to remove the bacteria that are gathering beneath your gum line and causing problems with your periodontal health. For individuals who are already dealing with periodontal disease, we can schedule supportive periodontal maintenance treatments to keep an infection from worsening.
While brushing and flossing are effective against gum disease, you can directly target bacteria that gather beneath your gum line when you take home Perio Protect from your Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontist! Perio Protect provides you with a custom tray and antibacterial agents that take care of potential infections. In addition to providing preventive care you take home, we can provide in-office services to protect your gums. To find out more about this service, or other procedures we can provide, call Dr. Kania’s periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
