Periodontics

It’s the dental discipline devoted to everything “around the tooth”—tooth roots, the gums, and the jawbones.

Periodontal Treatment: Early gum disease treatment may include tooth scaling and cleaning at three-month intervals along with use of medicated mouthwash and proper flossing. Later-stage gum disease treatment may include deep-plane scaling, periodontal surgery and laser surgery. General dentists, family dentists, periodontists and cosmetic dentists may perform gum disease treatment. However, availability of the latest material, technology and the level of expertise varies among dentists.

Periodontal services include:

Scaling and Root Planing

This “deep cleaning” below the gumline involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth’s surface and smoothing the root’s surface to help gums reattach to the tooth.

Oral Inflammation Treatment

Topical or oral antibiotics can help control periodontal disease. Your periodontist may have you use an antibiotic mouth rinse or put an antibiotic gel into your gum pockets.

Root Surface Debridement

Root Surface Debridement is another form of deep cleaning, controlling bacterial infection in the pockets (spaces created when gums pull away from the teeth) and the tissue beneath.

Surgical Treatment of Periodontitis

Pocket reduction surgery, gum grafts, and bone grafts are surgical options for treating advanced periodontal disease.
