When you have the very early stages of periodontal disease, or if you have undergone treatment, we want to offer a unique treatment to help protect your smile. With Ozone Therapy, we can use oxygen to manage the disease and safeguard your smile. In today’s blog, your Encinitas/San Diego, CA, periodontist talks about Ozone Therapy.

The Presence of Periodontal Disease

Your general dentist or orthodontist could find signs of periodontal disease and may refer you to our office for treatment. But you can be on the look out for signs of trouble too, and see our team for action to prevent major complications. With periodontal disease, people may experience sore gums, redness in these tissues, or even bleeding when brushing and flossing. Swelling could occur too, as could recession that makes teeth appear long and uneven. Don’t ignore these warning signs, as periodontal disease grows in severity with time and could eventually reach a stage linked to adult tooth loss.

Managing the Disease

Our team will take a close look at your smile with advanced imaging technology, so we can look for the visible signs of periodontal disease, and assess any damage to underlying attachment tissues and bone structure. We then create a treatment plan to bring relief and manage the issue. If we catch this in the early stages, we could recommend options like scaling and root planing, or Ozone Therapy, to manage the issue and take preventive actions. If you have received treatment from our team with dental lasers and other solutions to manage the issue, we could control it moving forward with preventive options.

Ozone Therapy

How does Ozone Therapy help control poor periodontal health? Our team will expose your gum tissues to oxygen in the form of a liquid or gas. This will help destroy harmful disease-causing bacteria and free radicals in the soft tissues and even the teeth themselves. At the same time, this leaves health bacteria in place, which helps protect your smile’s biome. By destroying harmful bacteria, we help limit the severity of plaque and tartar buildup, which protects your smile from worsening inflammation and periodontal disease.

If you have any questions about how our team will control the disease with Ozone Therapy, or if you have symptoms similar to those we discussed in today’s blog, we will hope you will reach out to us today.
