Signs to See Us for Periodontal Treatment

When should you see a periodontist? When you notice any changes to your gums, you should consider an appointment. For example, redness, soreness, bleeding, or recession could all indicate the presence of serious inflammation, also known as gingivitis, and gum disease. Without treatment, the disease will grow in severity, until you develop periodontitis and the risk of tooth loss increases significantly. Don’t risk the stability of your smile, see our team right away for treatment!

Ozone Therapy

In the gingivitis stage we can often reverse inflammation and if you have the early stages of periodontal disease, then our team could manage it so preventive treatments moving forward keep the disease in check and your smile whole. Since the buildup of harmful bacteria can worsen your gum health, we can use Ozone Therapy to destroy these bacteria, while also keeping healthy bacteria in place. Our team will administer oxygen in a gas or liquid form to the smile, where it will neutralize harmful oral bacteria to reduce inflammation and prevent worsening stages of the disease. The procedure is comfortable, noninvasive, and takes only a few minutes to administer, but can help keep your gingival tissues strong and intact, preventing recession and also protecting your bone structure from being weakened too.

Preventive Actions at Home

Following your procedure, we may recommend seeing you every three to four months for Supportive Periodontal Maintenance or a cleaning, so we can remove buildup and protect the smile. At home, you should brush twice a day for two minutes and floss every evening. Try to cut back on sugar and starch in your diet, and avoid tobacco products too! If you have any questions about how we keep smiles healthy and whole, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you maintain good gum health and a beautiful smile for years to come!
