What is Periodontal Treatment?
Adult gum disease, if not countered early, can lead to serious dental issues which can only be properly assessed and treated by a specialist periodontist in Chester.
Treatment typically involved debridement or root planning which entails complete cleaning of the root surfaces. Timely periodontal treatment plays a critical role in extending the life and health of your teeth, since periodontal disease leads to tooth loss.
The link between heart disease and periodontal disease has been well-established – however, something as minor as regular scaling and polishing can effectively treat gum disease, allowing you to maintain good periodontal health.
Our specialist periodontists have a wealth of experience treating gum diseases and administering preventive treatments. Call today to book your consultation.
FAQ
Periodontal Treatment FAQs
Periodontal disease can have ‘silent symptoms’ initially – they may not materialise until there has been significant bone loss. However, common symptoms may include chronic bad breath, receding gums from the teeth, bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, gums that are red, swollen and tender, etc.
It is highly recommended that you follow the post-procedure instructions given to you by your Chester periodontal specialist. You will start to feel better following the first day of treatment – however, overall recovery time may vary as more invasive periodontal procedures require more recovery time.
If you already have healthy teeth and gums, you still need to have at least a bi-annual check-up in order to rule out the likelihood of periodontal disease. Being said, regular tooth cleaning is a sure shot way of avoiding periodontal disease.
