We develop gum disease when your gums are inflamed, which could be due to plaque and tartar buildup, a diet high in sugar and starch, poor brushing and flossing habits, and lack of six-month dental cleanings. Other factors include a family history of the disease, the use of certain medications, or inflammatory illnesses and tobacco use. Without treatment to reverse the inflammation, your gums could begin to pull away from the teeth, allowing harmful oral bacteria to enter. You then develop periodontal disease, and need care to manage it and prevent the stage linked to tooth loss!
Warning signs of the disease could include sore and red gums, bleeding, swelling, or even recession that makes teeth appear long and uneven. When symptoms like these arise, please see our team for treatment so we can protect your smile! We can often help with holistic options like Ozone Therapy.
Also known as Oxygen Therapy, this involves exposing your gums to oxygen in a liquid or gas form. We choose one based on your own preferences and the needs of your smile. Either way, this can neutralize harmful oral bacteria while leaving healthy microbes in place to keep your smile’s biome intact. This can be done in the early stages of inflammation to protect your smile, or following laser treatment to manage the issue and keep your smile healthy and whole. This offers a holistic way to ensure better gum health for years to come.
Our team could also combine this with other holistic treatment options. For example, we could offer Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months to remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup. We can also control harmful oral bacteria with antimicrobial treatments. Our team could discuss helpful changes to your diet and daily routine as well, so you keep your smile whole and healthy. If you have any questions about Ozone Therapy and our other holistic treatment options, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help your smile stay whole and strong.
We want to help manage the disease and keep your smile full with Oxygen Therapy! To learn more about Ozone Therapy, or to schedule your appointment, give us a call at our office in Encinitas, CA today at 760-642-0711.
