Periodontal care is crucial in preventing tooth loss. Gum disease, if left untreated, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth, leading to tooth loss. Regular periodontal check-ups and cleanings at Smiles of Bulverde can help detect early signs of gum disease and treat it before it progresses to a more severe stage.
Research has shown a link between gum disease and systemic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. By maintaining good periodontal health, you're not just protecting your smile, you're also taking a proactive step towards safeguarding your overall health.
Healthy gums contribute to a beautiful smile, which can boost your self-confidence. Periodontal care ensures your gums are healthy and free from inflammation or infection, contributing to an aesthetically pleasing smile.
The first step in periodontal care is a comprehensive evaluation. This involves a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and bone structure. We may also use advanced imaging techniques to get a detailed view of your oral health.
The next step is professional cleaning. This involves removing plaque and tartar deposits that have built up on your teeth and below the gum line. This process, known as scaling and root planing, helps to prevent gum disease and keeps your teeth and gums healthy.
Based on the results of your evaluation and professional cleaning, we'll create a personalized treatment plan. This may include additional cleanings, periodontal therapy, or even surgical procedures, depending on the severity of your gum disease.
Treatment varies depending on the severity of the disease:
