Periodontal disease is a serious condition that can significantly impact your overall health and quality of life. While many focus on the health of their teeth, it’s crucial not to overlook the health of your gums.
At our clinic, we are dedicated to helping you achieve a vibrant, healthy smile. If you’re diagnosed with periodontal disease, our first step will be a comprehensive cleaning. This process involves scaling to remove tartar buildup from your teeth and below your gum line.
To support your recovery, we may recommend using an antibacterial mouth rinse after brushing. This can help combat harmful bacteria in your mouth. In more severe cases of periodontal disease, surgical intervention may be necessary. This could include placing antibiotic pockets directly in the gums or prescribing oral antibiotics to help eliminate the infection.
Once we have controlled the disease, maintaining your oral health becomes essential to prevent the recurrence of tartar and plaque buildup. Daily brushing and flossing are critical to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Additionally, rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash can provide extra protection.
Regular dental visits are vital for ongoing periodontal health. Professional cleanings allow us to monitor your gums for any signs of disease, ensuring we can address any issues early on, making treatment easier and more effective.
Your oral health is our priority, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
