Our team provides periodontic treatment to address periodontal disease and prevent issues like periodontitis and tooth loss. But following care, management is necessary to control the disease in the years to come. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about helping smiles with specialized hygiene services, so you can enjoy effective care and a full smile.
Treating Gum Disease with Lasers and More
When you see us initially for periodontal treatment, we will often use advanced technology to provide relief. With laser dentistry, we can gently trim away the diseased parts of your gums and then use the same technology to destroy harmful bacteria. Lasers provide treatment in one visit without the need for scalpels and sutures, or even anesthesia in some cases. This can take on more severe cases and help you avoid complications like adult tooth loss. Following this, we can then control and manage the disease with specialized hygiene services, so you avoid discomfort and tooth loss down the road.
Management with Specialized Hygiene Services
With specialized hygiene services, we will see you every three to four months following your initial laser treatment. We will take digital x-rays to assess the damage to underlying structures and watch for signs of the disease. Next, we will clean and polish the teeth to remove buildup and control periodontal problems, keeping your smile full. If you have dental implants, we also do the same actions to help ensure the longevity of your new teeth. Along with actions to help control periodontal disease, we also look for early warning signs of serious concerns like oral cancer, and other threats to your smile, so they can be addressed in the early stages and increase the chances of a full recovery.
Starting Your Treatment
When should you see our team for periodontic treatment and specialized hygiene services? We want to see you when you begin to experience changes to your gum health, even if these changes appear minor. Redness or soreness in the gums is a cause for concern, as is bleeding when you brush and floss. If the issue grows in severity, you may also experience gum recession that makes teeth appear longer. We want to help address and manage periodontal disease to help you avoid uncomfortable symptoms and tooth loss!
