Dedicated support for periodontal disease protects you against the worrying consequences of an infection. When you are not managing problems with your gums effectively, you are more likely to have concerns about tooth loss, as the bacteria on your teeth roots will attack surrounding soft tissues and weaken the support they provide. Another concern is that those bacteria can enter the bloodstream and move to different areas, which can lead to the onset of new problems that make your general health more difficult to manage. By taking these concerns seriously and seeing a specialist, you can stop problems from worsening and protect yourself against future complications.
Through a careful diagnostic review, we can see what kind of support you might require. Some patients who seek help will secure it in time to start a regimen of supportive periodontal maintenance. An alternative to traditional teeth cleanings, your maintenance appointments will regularly fight the buildup of microbes on your roots that threaten your gums. If something more advanced is needed to help manage your condition, we can explain what your options are. We offer different options for holistic treatments as well as options in care that relies on advanced oral health lasers.
We provide care with the REPAIR WaterLase laser and our LANAP PerioLase treatment to patients who have more advanced issues with gum disease. Having the choice between the two can help us provide a more personalized care experience, one that is best suited to meeting your needs. Treatments with laser technology are effective at preserving more healthy tissues and generally making you more comfortable as we work to remove infected gums and bacteria.
Through a commitment to personalized care for your gums, our practice can help you defend against a potentially serious infection. If you would like to learn more, call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
