Periodontal Cleaning

Periodontal Cleaning

The gums do not bleed when the patient brushes his teeth. The cause of periodontal disease was poorly understood until recently. The bone loss that accompanies periodontal disease is actually an exaggerated immune system response. Gingivitis and periodontal disease can occur together or separately. If you have periodontal disease without gingivitis, you will have bone loss and not necessarily experience sensitive or bleeding gums.

Periodontal Cleaning

Severe bad breath, loose teeth, teeth that fall out by themselves and pus exuding from the gums can all be found in advanced periodontal disease. A gross debridement is a cleaning that consists of a generalized removal of plaque and calculus in people with gingivitis or periodontal disease. Root planing is treatment for mild to moderate generalized or advanced localized periodontal disease.

Periodontal Cleaning

Periodontal Cleaning is the treatment given to people with periodontal disease at a frequency of at least every 3 months to prevent further bone loss.Your Dentist will recommend the cleaning that is appropriate for you after a thorough examination with x-rays is done.
