When you undergo laser treatment to treat gum disease, you need routine care to manage the disease and safeguard you against worsening symptoms and tooth loss. We can offer this care with specialized hygiene services. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist talks about how our specialized hygiene services can help you avoid major complications, such as tooth loss.
The Importance of Treating the Disease
We provide periodontic treatment to help address and manage gum disease. While the issue cannot be cured, routine care can keep it managed and help you avoid periodontist, the stage linked to adult tooth loss and uncomfortable symptoms. Initially, we may conduct a deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, to begin managing it in the early stages. For the later stages, we have multiple treatment options that employ dental lasers so we can gently and comfortably remove diseased portions of the gums, and then manage the disease with specialized hygiene services, so you enjoy healthy gums, an attractive smile, and a smile free of tooth loss!
Managing Your Smile’s Health
Based on your history with the disease, we may recommend a dental cleaning every three to four months to remove harmful buildup that can further inflame the gums. We will also take regular x-ray images with digital technology so we can assess any damage to the tissues and underlying bone structure. We can repair these with advanced options like Platelet Rich Plasma. We can polish the teeth to remove and destroy bacteria, and screen for oral cancer at regular intervals too. These treatments can be used to keep your periodontal disease in check, and also help safeguard your dental implants too, so you maintain a full and healthy smile.
Continuing Management at Home
In between your office visits, you can take action at home to help safeguard your smile. For example, avoid tobacco use and make time to brush and floss daily, which controls inflammation. Try to cut back on sugar and starch, as particles of them could feed bacteria to increase inflammation. Daily oral hygiene habits and a healthier diet, combined with our specialized hygiene services, can help your smile stay whole and healthy for years to come!
