If you have soreness, redness, and bleeding in your gum tissues, then you need treatment. These are common warning signs of periodontal disease, a common issue that could lead to adult tooth loss. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about when to see our team for periodontic care.
The Signs You Need Treatment
When should you seek out periodontic care with our team? Any changes to your gum tissues could potentially mean trouble that needs attention. Gingivitis and gum disease could cause tissues to feel sore, look red, and bleed easily when you brush and floss. As the issue progresses in severity, you could also encounter recession that makes teeth appear longer, and also increase the risk of complications like tooth decay, infection, and even tooth loss due to periodontitis! Don’t ignore these potential symptoms, see our team for a diagnosis.
Periodontal Care
We will conduct a detailed diagnosis employing the latest in digital imaging, looking at the surfaces of your teeth and gums, and also beneath the gums at tooth roots, attachment tissues, and underlying bone structure. With this information, we can plan treatment to manage the disease and keep your smile intact. For the early stages, we could offer a scaling and root planing to remove harmful buildup from the teeth and roots. For the more advanced stages, we could offer laser technology to help remove the diseased tissues and manage the disease with comfort and precision. Our team can also help your smile heal quickly following treatment with options like Platelet Rich Plasma.
Managing Your Smile’s Stability
To control the disease and avoid issues like discomfort and tooth loss, we could also see you every three to four months for Supportive Periodontal Maintenance, in which we remove harmful plaque and tartar from the teeth. We can also conduct x-rays and more to better monitor your smile and make sure you enjoy optimal health, function, and beauty in the months and years to come. Our team will also discuss better homecare actions, such as brushing and flossing properly and eating a healthier diet.
If you have any questions about how we treat and manage gum disease to avoid complications like tooth loss, or if you are ready to schedule a visit for an examination to start the process, then reach out to our team today to learn more.
