How Does Periodontal Therapy Work?
Periodontal therapy targets harmful bacteria that cause gum disease. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment may include:
✔ Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing): Removal of plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line to stop the progression of gum disease.
✔ Medications & Antibiotics: Prescription antimicrobial agents to help eliminate bacteria and reduce infection.
✔ Surgical Procedures: In severe cases, procedures such as tissue grafting, bone reshaping, or tooth removal may be necessary.
✔ Laser Therapy: A minimally invasive technique to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from beneath the gum line for faster healing and less discomfort.
The Benefits of Periodontal Therapy
🔹 Improves oral health by eliminating infection and reducing inflammation.
🔹 Strengthens gums and prevents tooth loss.
🔹 Enhances chewing and speaking ability by maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
🔹 Reduces pain, sensitivity, and discomfort associated with gum disease.
🔹 Improves overall well-being by lowering the risk of conditions linked to periodontal disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
When Is Periodontal Therapy Needed?
You may need periodontal treatment if you experience any of the following symptoms:
🔹 Red, swollen, or tender gums.
🔹 Bleeding when brushing or flossing.
🔹 Persistent bad breath.
🔹 Gum recession (teeth appearing longer).
🔹 Loose or shifting teeth.
If you smoke or have certain health conditions, your dentist may recommend periodontal therapy as a preventive measure, even if you don’t currently experience symptoms.
