When plaque and tartar buildup on your smile lead to the accumulation of unwelcome bacteria below your gum line, an infection can develop. It is possible to catch and treat the problem while you only need to deal with gingivitis, the first stage of an infection. Unfortunately, when that early detection does not happen, you can experience periodontal disease, which can be harder to manage and more harmful to your well-being. Bacteria on the roots of your teeth can destroy the soft tissues and surrounding bone, leading to less support for teeth. You can also experience general health complications as bacteria enter the bloodstream and move to different parts of the body.
While harmful bacteria are present under your gums and need to be dealt with, there are healthy microbes that are also present in your mouth. Through ozone therapy, we can take on the unwelcome bacteria while not affecting those microbes that are beneficial. We are able to do this by applying concentrations of oxygen, either in a liquid or gas form, to selectively target harmful agents. Because we can take this holistic approach, you can recover from issues more comfortably and easily!
We can base plans for your smile care around your condition, and what are concerns are about the state of your gums. For people who have more significant issues that need to be resolved, we can discuss treatment through laser periodontal care. For those who have problems that are caught in time, we can begin a regimen of preventive periodontal services to control an infection and prevent problems.
Through ozone therapy, we can provide targeted treatments for unwelcome bacteria while leaving healthy microbes alone. This can help preserve and protect your gums through a more holistic approach to care. If you want to learn more about this or any other service that we offer, please call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
