Periodontal disease affects millions of Americans. Are you one of them?

If you have been told that you have periodontal disease, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans suffer from some form of gum disease. But, no matter the stage, it is essential to seek periodontal treatment in order to stop it in its tracks and save your smile.
Periodontal disease is a direct result of plaque. Plaque is a stick and colorless buildup of bacteria on your teeth. Even though brushing and flossing helps get rid of plaque. Plaque that isn’t removed then hardens and forms tartar, which only professional dental cleanings can remove. The longer plaque and tartar are on teeth; the more periodontal disease will progress.

Deep Cleaning for Periodontal Disease

Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planning, is a deep-cleaning method used by your dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque. Scaling scrapes of the tartar above and below the gum line while root planning rets ride of the rough spots of bacteria on the tooth root.

Medications for Periodontal Disease

Medications are often used with other periodontal treatments, such as scaling and root planning. Some medications include antimicrobial mouthrinse, antiseptic chips, antibiotic gel or microspheres, and enzyme suppressants.

Surgical Treatments for Periodontal Disease

Surgery may be necessary if inflammation and deep pockets still remain after deep cleaning and medications. Some surgical treatments include flap surgery and bone and tissue grafts.
