Managing an issue like gum disease is crucial for avoiding not only discomfort, but the loss of your teeth! But we can offer care to manage the issue and keep your smile strong, including the use of perio laser systems. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about how we manage periodontal disease and keep your smile complete.
The Warning Signs of Gum Disease
What are the common warning signs of gum disease? You may need us to help manage periodontal disease if you have soreness in your smile, which can mean discomfort and sensitivity. You could also develop redness in the tissues or they could even bleed easily when you brush and floss. The disease is also linked to recession, in which tissues pull back to expose the lower portions of the teeth, making them appear long. When you develop these common warning signs of gum disease, we want you to let us know right away and schedule a consultation. Our team can then offer care to manage your periodontal disease.
Treating the Disease
How do we treat and manage your periodontal disease? With treatment, we will offer options like a deep cleaning to remove harmful plaque and tartar from the teeth, so we can begin managing gum disease in the early stages. If we find you have a more severe case, then our team could offer treatment with laser dentistry to help remove diseased tissues and destroy disease-causing bacteria, better protecting your smile especially if the disease is reaching the periodontitis stage, which otherwise could cause tooth loss.
Managing the Issue
Following your treatment, we will offer care to manage periodontal disease. We could discuss options like Platelet Rich Plasma to help the treated area and connective tissues heal faster. We could offer Support Periodontal Maintenance to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth every few months to control inflammation and manage the issue. Our team could also offer special medications or even Ozone Therapy. We can also discuss better homecare habits and diets, which can also protect oral health and keep the disease in control.
If you have any questions about how we manage periodontal disease, or if you would like to schedule an appointment with our team, then contact our office today to learn more and get started. We want to help your smile stay full and beautiful, and spare you discomfort and other uncomfortable symptoms and complications, including tooth loss.
