The health of your gums is vital for a full and healthy smile, which is why we offer care to help prevent and/or manage periodontal disease. With our specialized hygiene services, we can provide prevention and help manage the issue following laser treatment. Ihn today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about our specialized hygiene services and how we can help your smile stay whole and healthy for years to come!
The Signs You Need Periodontic Treatment
You should consider an appointment with our team once you notice any negative changes to your gum health. Soreness, redness, or bleeding could be a sign of gingivitis or the early stages of gum disease. You should also let us know if recession occurs, in which the tissues pull back and the teeth appear longer. Treatment to prevent or manage the disease could help your smile stay whole, and reduce the risk for related disorders such as diabetes and heart disease. Our hygienists can offer specialized hygiene services to help, either as a preventive measure to help manage the issue following laser treatment.
Our Specialized Hygiene Services
Our specialized hygiene services could include a routine dental cleaning every three to four months to control plaque and tartar buildup, limiting inflammation and symptoms. We also conduct regular x-rays to assess any damage to underlying bone and connective structures, as attachment loss could lead to gum disease and tooth loss. We also polish your teeth and will watch for other issues like oral cancer. If you have dental implants, we will provide care to help secure the health and stability of your new teeth, so they can last for decades to come.
Starting Treatment
How do you start treatment? First, contact our team to schedule a consultation. During this visit, we will talk to you about your dental and medical history, symptoms you may be experiencing, and your oral hygiene routine. Our team will then examine your smile with advanced digital imaging to assess your risk and to plan treatment with precision. We could offer a deep cleaning for the early stages, or advanced dental losers for more severe cases. Our team then manages the issue afterward with our specialized hygiene services.
If you have any questions about how we can help your tissues stay healthy and strong, or about setting up a visit with our team, then contact our team today to learn more and get started.
