Whether you want to fight back against active periodontal problems or hope to prevent future difficulties, your daily hygiene efforts can help you. Brushing and flossing each day will help you fight the buildup of bacteria that cause problems as they gather on the roots of your teeth. In addition to defending yourself in this way, you can make yourself less susceptible to difficulties with your mouth and other health concerns when you eliminate tobacco use. We offer guidance to help you stay on top of your needs at home, and we offer more advanced in-office services to prevent future difficulties.
Through good daily efforts to protect yourself, you can keep up with a smile care routine that protects your gums. Brushing and flossing both help with this. When you perform both, make sure that you work to clean those spaces where teeth and gums meet so that microbes in these spaces are removed. For added support, we can provide you with Perio Protect, a personalized daily treatment that lets you fight harmful agents with antimicrobial treatments that are applied directly to periodontal tissues.
Because our practice is committed to periodontal care, we provide services that are able to resolve problems of varying degrees. For some patients, we can recommend starting supportive periodontal maintenance as an alternative to dental cleanings. Those who need more help can benefit from more involved services, including treatments for poor gum health that rely on laser tools.
By making a commitment to protecting your gums each day, you can defend yourself against the health complications linked to advanced gum disease. Our practice is ready to help you by offering both guidance and in-office care when appropriate. For more information on what we can do for you, call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
