When you take a good look at the problems associated with gum disease, you can start to appreciate the importance of better periodontal care. The bacteria that attack your gums can cause inflammation in other parts of your body, as these microbes can move to different areas through your bloodstream. They also cause attachment loss that leaves teeth vulnerable to being lost, create problems with noticeable gum line recession, and can become difficult manage as an infection progresses in severity.
Depending on the state of your gums when you come to our practice, Dr. Kania can talk to you about different forms of care. For those who still have reversible issues with gingivitis, or are in the earlier stages of periodontal disease, we can provide preventive services to prevent complications for your oral and general health. If you already have more significant issues with attachment loss and bacteria buildup, we can review more involved treatments. This includes work we can provide with lasers to carefully clear away unhealthy tissues as well as bacteria on the roots of teeth.
Through better preventive care at home, you can do a better job controlling the accumulation of bacteria. To assist you in fighting these microbes on your own, we can provide you with Perio Protect, an at-home antimicrobial treatment that makes protecting your gums easier.
Through treatment to manage your periodontal health, you can prevent the onset of potentially serious problems. Our practice is ready to help if you need to work on controlling an active infection, or if you want to make sure your health is better managed. We are ready to help you understand the different options for care available to you—to learn more or set up a visit, please call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
