PERIODONTAL DISEASE TREATMENT

At Mask Dental Studio, we understand that maintaining good oral health is crucial for overall well-being. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common but serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. It can lead to gum inflammation, tooth loss, and other health complications if left untreated. Our experienced team is dedicated to diagnosing and treating periodontal disease to help you achieve and maintain healthy gums.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth. It begins with gingivitis, the early stage characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing. If not addressed, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the inflammation extends deeper into the supporting structures of the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss and other health issues.

Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

Early detection and treatment of periodontal disease are essential for effective management. Common signs and symptoms include:

●       Bleeding Gums: Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing are often the first sign of gum disease.

●       Swollen or Red Gums: Inflammation can cause your gums to appear swollen, red, or tender.

●       Persistent Bad Breath: Chronic bad breath can be a sign of gum disease or other dental issues.

●       Receding Gums: Gums that pull away from the teeth can expose tooth roots and contribute to sensitivity.

●       Loose or Shifting Teeth: Advanced periodontal disease can cause teeth to become loose or shift position.

Benefits of Treating Periodontal Disease

Addressing periodontal disease offers numerous benefits, including:

●       Improved Oral Health: Effective treatment can restore gum health, reducing the risk of further complications.

●       Prevention of Tooth Loss: Early intervention can prevent the progression of gum disease and protect your teeth from loss.

●       Enhanced Overall Health: Studies have shown a link between periodontal disease and systemic health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease may improve your overall health.

●       Better Quality of Life: Healthy gums contribute to a more confident smile and improved oral function.

Our Periodontal Disease Treatment Process

At Mask Dental Studio, we prioritize your comfort and well-being throughout the periodontal treatment process. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: During your initial appointment, our team will perform a thorough examination of your gums and overall oral health. We will assess the depth of gum pockets and take necessary X-rays to determine the extent of the disease.

  2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on our evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may include a combination of professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, and ongoing maintenance.

  3. Scaling and Root Planing: This non-surgical procedure involves the thorough cleaning of the tooth surface and root areas to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. It helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing.

  4. Follow-Up Care: After your initial treatment, we will schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure your gums are healing properly. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may need more frequent cleanings.

  5. Patient Education: Our team will provide you with valuable information on maintaining good oral hygiene practices at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as dietary recommendations.
