At Kryedent Dental & Aesthetic Clinic, the condition you’re referring to is likely “periodontitis,” which is a serious gum infection that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth if left untreated. Here’s how periodontitis is typically addressed at Kryedent:
- Diagnosis: The dental team at Kryedent performs thorough examinations to diagnose periodontitis. This involves assessing the health of your gums, measuring the depth of gum pockets around teeth, and evaluating any signs of gum recession or bone loss through dental X-rays and other diagnostic tools.
- Treatment Options: Kryedent offers comprehensive treatment options to manage and treat periodontitis, which may include:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This is a deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar deposits from below the gumline (scaling) and smooth out rough spots on the tooth roots (root planing). It helps eliminate bacteria and promote gum healing.
- Antibiotic Therapy: In some cases, Kryedent may prescribe antibiotics to control bacterial infection and reduce inflammation in the gums.
- Surgical Treatments: For advanced cases of periodontitis, Kryedent may recommend surgical interventions such as flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery), bone grafts, or tissue regeneration procedures to restore gum and bone health.
- Ongoing Maintenance: Regular follow-up appointments at Kryedent are crucial for monitoring your periodontal health and ensuring that the treatment is effective. They may also provide guidance on proper oral hygiene practices to maintain gum health at home.
- Patient Education: Kryedent emphasizes patient education on the causes and prevention of periodontitis. They may offer advice on brushing and flossing techniques, lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking), and the importance of regular dental check-ups to prevent recurrence of gum disease.
- Collaborative Care: The dental team at Kryedent works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their specific periodontal needs. They prioritize patient comfort and strive to deliver effective treatments that promote long-term oral health.
Managing periodontitis effectively requires timely intervention and ongoing dental care. If you suspect you may have periodontitis or are experiencing symptoms such as gum inflammation, bleeding gums, or loose teeth, scheduling a consultation with Kryedent Dental & Aesthetic Clinic would allow their experts to evaluate your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options.
