When should you see us for periodontal treatment? Warning signs of the disease could include sore, red, and bleeding gums. Over time, this could also include recession, in which the gums pull back to make the teeth appear longer. When you encounter these potential symptoms, you should see our team right away for treatment. Otherwise, your risk the onset of the advanced stage, known as periodontitis, which could lead to adult tooth loss!
When you see our team, we will talk to you about your possible symptoms, oral hygiene habits, and other factors. Our team then takes detailed digital images of your smile with digital x-rays and other systems to conduct a diagnosis with precision and accuracy. From there, our team can choose treatment. For the more advanced stages, we can offer help with the REPAIR with WaterLase system. This option combines a dental laser with a steady stream of water, so we can comfortably remove diseased portions of your gums with precision, allowing healthy ones to reattach to the teeth.
Dental lasers provide care with comfort, and they destroy harmful oral bacteria in the process. This technology limits the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling. We can also target areas with precision to protect surrounding tissues, and the area will heal quickly. Most people return to their normal routine after a day or two of rest, and the procedure itself only takes one visit to complete.
Following your laser treatment, we can offer holistic and preventive treatments to better manage the issue and safeguard your smile. For example, we can control plaque and tartar buildup, and in the process control inflammation, with a cleaning or Supportive Periodontal Maintenance every three to four months. We can also discuss options like antimicrobial treatments and Ozone Therapy. If you have any questions about how our team will diagnose and manage issues like periodontal disease, or if you need to make an appointment with our team, then contact our office today to get started!
Our team is ready to employ advanced laser technology to keep your smile healthy and strong. When you are ready to see our team for treatment, contact Dr. Kania in Encinitas, CA, by calling 760-642-0711. We want to ensure you enjoy good gum health and a full smile for years to come!
