Periodontics
Sadly, a significant number of us fail to recognize the significance of our teeth. Gum tissue not only helps to keep our teeth in place, but it also acts as a barrier against the germs that are found in our mouths. There is a possibility that food particles and germs may enter the soft tissue of the gums if they are not adequately cared for, which can result in the development of
gum disease. Periodontal care offered by our highly skilled local dentists includes both innovative surgical procedures and conservative methods.
Signs That You Need Periodontics
Healthy gums are firm and pink to the touch, in contrast to diseased gums, which may seem red, swollen, painful, and irritated. Diseased gums often have these characteristics. Inflammation and irritation of the gum tissue may occur when oral bacteria attack the base of the teeth that are near to the gum line. This can cause the gums to become red and swollen.
• If you notice that your gums are bleeding often, it is possible that you have advanced gum disease. There is also the possibility that the continuous bleeding may cause a metallic taste to appear on the tongue.Having terrible breath is caused by bacteria that act on food particles that have been caught in the mouth, which results in the production of toxins and gasses that have an unpleasant odor. Halitosis, sometimes known as bad breath, is frequently an indication of gum disease.
• Loose teeth are the result of bacteria eating away at the bone that surrounds individual tooth.
Monarch Dentistry Treats Periodontal Diseases
An examination of your oral cavity will be performed, and then one of our highly trained dentists will provide a recommendation on the most appropriate course of action for you. In order to remove tartar and calculus from in between teeth and below the gum line, we will do a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums. This procedure is known as scaling and root planing.
Oral medication or antibiotics: To treat the bacterial infection, our experienced dentists may offer oral medicine or inject antibiotic sachets into the gum pockets. In cases when the infection is more serious, it may be necessary to do gum surgery to eliminate the infection.
The failure to treat periodontal disease may result in complications during pregnancy, increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, and heighten the chance of having a stroke.
