Periodontal disease treatment

Periodontal disease is inflammation in the gums and the bone surrounding your teeth. In its early stage, it is called gingivitis. More severe cases are called periodontitis. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to loose teeth and tooth extraction. It is actually the leading cause of tooth extraction among middle-aged and older adults. Dental scaling is not a cosmetic treatment. It is the most basic treatment for protecting your gums.

Plaque, tartar, and other deposits on the tooth surface

A collection of bacteria

It is the main cause of periodontal disease.

When plaque on the surface of your teeth is not removed by brushing, it gradually hardens into tartar. Toxins produced during this process can enter the gums and damage gum tissue and the bone around your teeth. If symptoms become severe, your teeth may become loose or eventually fall out. Bacteria that cause periodontal disease can also spread throughout the body through the bloodstream and are associated with various conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, premature birth, and rheumatoid arthritis. Periodontal disease is thereforeA serious condition that threatens not only your oral health but your overall healthso you need to monitor it carefully on a regular basis.

Treatment options for gum disease

1. Dental scaling Covered by insurance once a year

The first step is to remove the tartar, which is the main cause. Dental scaling is a basic gum treatment that uses an ultrasonic instrument to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surface. If plaque and tartar are left untreated, gum inflammation can develop. It can progress to pus forming in the jawbone and even bone loss, so it should never be ignored. We recommend dental scaling every 6โ€“12 months, even if your gums are healthy.

2. Curette Subgingival curettage

This is a more intensive gum treatment that uses instruments after a small amount of anesthesia to remove inflamed tissue and tartar below the gumline that dental scaling cannot remove. Dental scaling removes tartar from the teeth and above the gums, while curettage removes tartar between the teeth and gums and beneath the gums. This thorough tartar removal takes a considerable amount of time and may be performed over several visits, depending on your condition.


3. Gum surgery

When inflammation or periodontal disease occurs in an area that is difficult to reach, the gums are opened to remove inflammation and tartar, then closed again. Medication may also be applied, and bone grafting may be performed depending on your condition.
