What causes the disease to occur? The issue begins with factors that inflame and irritate the gum tissues, which over time can lead to tissues pulling away from the teeth, creating pockets for bacteria to enter that causes the disease. These factors could include certain medications, inflammatory illness, a family history of the disease, or even tobacco use. Poor brushing and flossing, or a diet high in sugar and starch, both of which promotes plaque buildup and irritated gums, could be responsible too.
How do you know when to see a periodontist? Well, if you attend checkups and cleanings with your general dentist, then your dentist will likely see the warning signs of the disease and refer you for a visit. But you can also schedule a visit when you begin to notice potentially harmful changes to your gums, such as redness, soreness, bleeding, and swelling, or even recession that makes teeth appear long or uneven. When these symptoms occur, let us know so we can start treatment and help you avoid worsening discomfort and the onset of adult tooth loss.
Our team will conduct a detailed examination of your smile with advanced digital imaging, so we can assess the presence and severity of the disease and choose the most appropriate treatment options. In the early stages, this could include a deep cleaning, medications, Ozone Therapy, and more. For more advanced cases, our team could recommend lasers that trim away the diseased portions so healthy ones can reattach to the teeth and form a healthy and symmetrical smile. We then manage the issue with preventive and holistic treatments moving forward to keep your smile healthy and strong.
