With the right commitment to daily smile care, you can defend yourself against gum disease as well as problems with tooth decay. To see the right results, you should put time and effort into both brushing and flossing, and you should be thorough enough to fight bacteria in those spaces where your teeth and gums meet. While many people feel comfortable with the routines they practice, they can experience the consequences of poor hygiene in the form of gingivitis, which can eventually lead to periodontal disease.
Based on your current health and history with gum disease, Dr. Kania can recommend that you include Perio Protect in your daily routine. Adding this means adding a practice of directly targeting bacteria beneath the gums. This is made possible with special trays that fit over teeth and antibacterial agents that fight harmful microbes present on the roots of teeth. When this becomes a daily habit, you can enjoy better protection against significant gum problems and their consequences.
Beyond focusing on daily smile care, you can talk to a specialist about making sure you remain safe against periodontal problems. To help patients with a history of issues with gum disease, we can recommend the start of supportive periodontal maintenance. This replaces your semiannual dental cleanings with more thorough sessions that fight bacteria already present on the roots of teeth. We can also provide holistic in-office services like ozone therapy and PRP therapy to tend to problems with bacteria and tissue damaged respectively.
By pursuing better hygiene efforts on a daily basis, you can fight gum disease and protect yourself against its consequences! If you would like to find out more about how se can help you with this, or if you are interested in what our in-office services can do for you, please call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
