PERIODONTAL TREATMENT
A Modern Approach to Gum Health
Gum disease, once a silent and often overlooked dental problem, is now recognized as a serious health issue with far-reaching consequences.
Modern periodontal treatment offers innovative solutions to combat this condition and restore your oral health.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to inflammation and infection of the gums and tissues surrounding the teeth. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe stages, including periodontitis, which can result in tooth loss.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing the tooth roots to promote healing.
Laser Therapy: Advanced laser technology can be used to target bacteria and reduce inflammation, often with minimal discomfort.
Antibiotic Therapy: In severe cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to help combat infection.
Gum Grafting: For individuals with receding gums, gum grafting procedures can be performed to restore tissue and prevent further recession.
Periodontal Surgery: In advanced cases, periodontal surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues and restore bone structure.
Modern Periodontal Treatment Options:
Improved Oral Health: Periodontal treatment can help prevent tooth loss and improve overall oral health.
Reduced Risk of Systemic Diseases: Gum disease has been linked to various systemic health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Effective periodontal treatment can help reduce these risks.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Healthy gums and teeth contribute to a more attractive smile.
Improved Quality of Life: Periodontal treatment can significantly improve your quality of life by reducing pain, discomfort, and embarrassment associated with gum disease.
