Why Treat Gum Disease?

Gum disease may start quietly. At first, you may notice your gums feel tender or bleed when you brush and floss. When plaque and calculus are allowed to accumulate on your teeth, your gums become inflamed and tender before pulling away from your teeth. If left unchecked, this infection can cause more than a little pink in the sink, though. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and even cause systemic health conditions like cardiovascular disease, stroke, or diabetes complications.

Key Gum Disease Treatments

Scaling and Root Planing

A non-surgical treatment, scaling and root planing is often the first procedure in the fight against gum disease. Scaling removes the bacterial plaque from above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the tooth surfaces to encourage healthy tissue reattachment and protection against future infection.

Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery is the most aggressive treatment for advanced gum disease in Bellmore, NY. It involves removing the diseased gum tissue and repairing the damaged bone to restore support to the teeth. This surgery also removes the bacteria and calculus trapped in the deep pockets between the teeth.

Peri-Implantitis

Peri-implantitis is when peri-implantitis progresses, bacteria flourish and an infection can form around the dental implant. If you’re exhibiting symptoms of an ailing dental implant, it’s important to be treated by an experienced professional Periodontist or Oral Surgeon with extensive knowledge of soft and hard tissues of the mouth. At [Name of Practice], are skilled in bone grafting techniques to enable patients with bone loss to be candidates for dental implants and also has proven expertise leveraging LAPIP to eradicate diseased tissue and bacteria around implants.

Gingivectomy

A gingivectomy is the surgical removal of the gum tissue around teeth. This is often completed when a person suffers from gum disease to trim away the damaged tissues and reduce the pockets between teeth. A gingivectomy may also remove gum tissue that is causing a “gummy” smile to improve the smile’s overall symmetry and tooth-to-gum ratio and to reduce excess tissue that is prone to infection. Patients who complete this treatment experience improved dental function and better smile aesthetics

Periodontal Maintenance

Once gum disease has been comprehensively treated, periodontal maintenance is recommended to ensure it does not return. This procedure is completed every 3-4 months and involves a deep cleaning of the teeth at and below the gumline to remove bacteria and plaque accumulation. These deep cleanings will replace your regularly scheduled hygiene appointments.
