How We Control Periodontal Disease

When someone comes to our office for periodontal treatment, our team can offer laser dentistry to bring the issue into a more manageable stage. Afterward, we can provide treatment to manage the issue and keep inflammation under control! In today’s blog, Dr. Ann Kania talks about how our team can control periodontal disease in Encinitas/San Diego, CA.

The Dangers of Untreated Periodontal Concerns

When people develop gum disease, treatment is needed to keep it under control and protect you from a stage known as periodontitis, which can sever the connective tissues between the teeth and gums, causing adult tooth loss. Between the onset of the disease and the loss of your teeth, you could experience sore, red, and bleeding gums, as well as gum recession. To avoid discomfort and keep your smile whole, we can offer treatment to control periodontal disease.

Treatment with Laser Dentistry

Our team begins with a diagnosis, taking a close look at your smile with digital imaging technology to assess the presence and severity of the disease, so we can create a personalized plan to manage the issue. For many, we can offer relief with perio soft issue lasers. We offer Fotona, REPAIR with WaterLase, and LANAP systems, which enables our team to destroy harmful bacteria and trim away diseased tissues, reshaping the gum line in the process. Lasers can conduct care with precision and comfort, rarely requiring anesthesia at all, and at the same destroy bacteria to prevent swelling, infection, and bleeding. The treated area heals fast too, so you can resume your normal cavities after a day or two. Once we have treated the disease with laser technology, we can begin controlling your periodontal disease!

Managing Your Oral Health

How do we control periodontal disease? Once our laser systems bring it into a manageable state, we can offer Supportive Periodontal Maintenance to remove harmful buildup every few months to keep inflammation under strict control. We can also help with Ozone Therapy and antimicrobial medications to control harmful bacteria. We will sit down with you to discuss better homecare actions too, such as proper brushing and flossing, and a smile-healthy diet.
