Why Should I Get Periodontal Care?

The importance of periodontal care cannot be overstated. Gum disease is a prevalent condition that affects many people, often without them realizing it. It starts as gingivitis, with symptoms such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If ignored, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to more severe problems like gum recession, bone loss, and eventually, tooth loss. By getting periodontal care, you can prevent these issues. The treatment not only focuses on treating the current condition but also on preventing future occurrences. It’s about maintaining your oral health, ensuring your teeth are supported by strong, healthy gums, and enjoying a confident, beautiful smile.

The Benefits Of Periodontal Care

Improved Oral Health

One of the key benefits of periodontal care is the improvement of your overall oral health. Gum disease is linked to various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and even stroke. By treating and preventing gum disease, periodontal care helps maintain not just your oral health, but your overall well-being.

Aesthetic Improvement

Gum disease can lead to gum recession, which can make your teeth appear longer and your smile less appealing. Periodontal treatment can help restore your gums to a healthier state, improving the appearance of your smile. With healthier gums, you can smile with confidence.

Prevention of Tooth Loss

Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The bacteria that cause gum disease can destroy the bone supporting your teeth, leading to their loosening and eventual loss. Periodontal care targets these bacteria, effectively preventing tooth loss.

The Periodontal Care Treatment Process

  • Comprehensive Examination

The first step in periodontal care is a comprehensive examination. Dr. Shah will examine your gums for any signs of inflammation or recession. She may also take X-rays to check for bone loss around your teeth.

  • Deep
    Cleaning
If gum disease is detected, the next step is deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below your gum line and smoothing out the roots of your teeth to help your gums reattach to your teeth.
  • Maintenance and Follow-ups

After the deep cleaning, regular follow-ups will be scheduled to monitor your gums and ensure they are healing properly. Dr. Shah may also recommend specific oral hygiene practices to maintain your gum health at home.
