We offer periodontal disease therapy to help combat this serious condition. If untreated, we warn our patients that this condition can lead to bone and tooth loss. Regular appointments with us and good oral healthcare can help prevent this disease. If you’re concerned about the health of your teeth, schedule an appointment with us today.
We take periodontal disease, a.k.a. gum disease, very seriously because the condition can significantly affect your health. We tell our patients that the bacteria found in plaque cause this condition. This bacteria irritates and inflames the gum tissues, especially if you’re not getting regular checkups with us. If you haven’t had dental care lately and are concerned about periodontal disease, we recommend looking for these symptoms:
We also need to warn you that periodontal disease works in stages. The first stage is called gingivitis, which we recognize when patients have swollen, tender, and red gums that bleed easily. Stage two is periodontitis, which occurs when we see the gum tissues receding from the teeth. Our staff warns patients that this allows bacteria to form inside the pockets created by this condition. If you’re concerned about gum disease, contact us to schedule an appointment.
If you’ve developed periodontal disease and need treatment, we can help. Our goal is to eliminate bacteria, halt the disease’s progress, and encourage the growth of healthy gum tissues. The approach we take depends on the severity of your condition and your dental needs. Here are the top three ways we provide your periodontal disease therapy:
We recommend that patients with severe gum disease see a periodontist. We know these dentists who specialize in periodontal therapy can help. Our patients receive various treatments, including flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery), bone grafting, and gum grafts. Whether we help you or refer you to a periodontist, it all starts when one of our dentists provides a thorough examination. We invite you to learn more about our team at AH Dentistry.
