Therapy for Periodontal Disease
Periodontal refers to "the tissue surrounding the teeth." Specialists in this area, known as periodontists, focus on treating and performing surgery on this area, typically affected by gum disease. The primary cause of gum disease is plaque.
Regrettably, issues related to periodontal health are frequently identified after they have been present for a considerable duration. Maintaining good oral hygiene, practicing daily dental care, and having regular dental checkups can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease. The severity of gum disease can vary from mild (gingivitis), to moderate (periodontitis), to severe (periodontitis). There are treatments available for all stages of gum disease.
Issues commonly linked with gum disease:
- "Extended" teeth (your gum lines recede, revealing the root sections of your teeth)
- Tooth structure that is discolored or deteriorating
- Depressions in the gum tissue (holes between the teeth)
- Gum line infection (characterized by discoloration or inflammation of the gum tissue)
- Loss or movement of teeth
Gum disease can have harmful impacts on your dental health. Nonetheless, by maintaining good oral hygiene and taking preventive measures, you can steer clear of issues related to gum disease.
