If your oral hygiene routine is effective, it will protect you against the buildup of bacteria and food debris that leads to plaque and tartar formation. The buildup of harmful microbes can cause problems with tooth decay as well as gum disease. Many people become vulnerable to infection because their brushing and flossing, while consistent, is not effective at cleaning the spaces where their teeth and gum line meet.
If you have struggled to avoid gingivitis in the past, or if you want to make sure you have no future issues with infection, you can add Perio Protect to your routine. Perio Protect provides you with antibacterial agents and custom trays that allow you to apply these agents. With this step included in your oral hygiene routine, you can directly target the bacteria that create problems with periodontal disease.
If you want to make sure your gums are treated properly, or if you worry that an infection has grown too serious for treatment from a general dentist, you can make an appointment at our practice for care. We use advanced diagnostic imaging tools to study your gums and determine what kind of difficulties you face. Once these problems are identified, we can arrange the appropriate treatment. That may mean performing a scaling and root planing to stop an infection from worsening, or it could mean performing more advanced work to stop periodontal disease from causing more serious troubles.
Our periodontal practice in the Encinitas/San Diego, CA area is prepared to help you if you are growing concerned about your periodontal health. To find out more about our office and services, or to discuss concerns about your current periodontal health, call Dr. Kania’s periodontal office today at (760) 642-0711.
