Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is present when gum tissue attachment to the teeth is abnormal and bone changes may be evident through x-rays. A Dental professional will determine the degree of periodontal disease in two ways. First, by examining “pockets” between the gum and tooth to see how much detachment exists.; and second by closely examining the x-rays.
Your Dentist will discuss treatment options and procedures once a periodontal disease diagnosis has been made, beginning with conservative behavioral changes and extending to specialist periodontal treatment. Making an appointment with a Periodontist is fast and easy. Periodontal care is available at AXIS Dental Group in Brampton.
Treating Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease does not always respond to conservative measures taken before and after diagnosis. While surgery may be necessary in the end, knowing what steps you can take to prevent disease from forming, and from progressing, is very important.
Behavioral Change: When periodontal disease is detected, your Dentist will first recommend a few behavioral changes including an enhanced oral hygiene program, quitting smoking, and additional lifestyle changes.
Tartar Removal: A regular and thorough professional tartar or calcified plaque removal program will become an essential part of your oral hygiene routine. Typically this is a painless procedure.
Surgical Therapy: In cases of severe periodontal disease, surgery will be necessary to repair and regenerate the soft and hard tissues and replace any missing teeth. The goal of surgery is to eliminate pockets between the gum and tooth and attempt to encourage reattachment and normal function and esthetics to the patient.
Periodontics restore form and function to the gum tissue, periodontal ligament, and the bone that supports your teeth or an individual tooth. The long-term goal of any periodontal treatment is to increase the life expectancy of the teeth and their usefulness.
