Periodontics
Periodontal Treatment
Periodontics involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an inflammation and infection of the gum tissues. It includes the stages commonly known as gingivitis and periodontitis. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
When plaque and tartar are left untreated on teeth and gums, gum disease may develop. You can reduce your risk of gum disease by brushing twice and flossing once every day. You should also have a dental exam and professional cleaning at least twice each year.
Gingivitis includes a variety mild to moderate symptoms, such as:
- Red, swollen gums
- Sensitive teeth
- Gums bleeding from normal brushing or eating
- Chronic halitosis (bad breath)
- Difficulty or pain chewing
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease. In this case, gums begin to pull away from teeth, creating small “pockets” along the gum line. Tooth loss, bone loss, and damage to gums and soft tissues can occur with periodontitis.
Laser Periodontal Therapy And Antibiotivs (Arestin)
Laser periodontal therapy, combined with the advanced antibiotic treatment Arestin, offers a powerful and effective solution for combating gum disease. Our state-of-the-art laser technology targets and removes infected gum tissue with precision, promoting faster healing and reduced discomfort compared to traditional methods. To enhance the treatment’s effectiveness, we utilize Arestin, a locally applied antibiotic that targets bacteria directly at the infection site. This combination not only halts the progression of gum disease but also fosters healthier gum tissue and bone regeneration. At our clinic, our skilled dental professionals are committed to providing you with the highest level of care, ensuring your gums are healthy and your smile remains radiant.
