What is Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal treatment refers to the care and procedures aimed at treating gum disease (periodontitis) and other conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease is a common but serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and other health complications if left untreated. Periodontal treatment helps to manage and reverse the effects of gum disease, promoting healthier gums and teeth.
Key Components of Periodontal Treatment
Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the root surfaces to help gums reattach to the teeth.
Gum Grafting: For patients with significant gum recession, gum grafting can restore lost gum tissue, protecting tooth roots and improving the appearance of the smile.
Laser Therapy: Laser treatment can be used to remove infected gum tissue and promote healing, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
Antibiotic Therapy: Local or systemic antibiotics may be used to reduce bacteria and inflammation in the gums.
Pocket Reduction Surgery: This surgical procedure reduces the depth of gum pockets, making it easier to clean and maintain healthy gums.
Maintenance and Monitoring: Regular periodontal check-ups and cleanings help monitor the health of your gums and prevent the recurrence of gum disease.
Benefits of Periodontal Treatment
Dental crowns can be made from various materials, each with its own advantages:
Prevents Tooth Loss
Effective periodontal treatment can halt the progression of gum disease, reducing the risk of tooth loss.
Reduces Systemic Health Risks
Gum disease has been linked to other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can lower the risk of these conditions.
