What Is Periodontal Therapy?
Periodontal therapy involves the treatment of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This therapy aims to restore the health of your gums and prevent further damage to the supporting structures of your teeth. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal oral health and preserve your natural teeth.
Causes of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Other contributing factors include:
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque accumulation.
- Smoking: Tobacco use significantly increases the risk of gum disease.
- Genetics: A family history of gum disease can increase your susceptibility.
- Medical Conditions: Diseases like diabetes can affect your gum health.
- Medications: Certain medications can reduce saliva flow, which helps protect your gums.
Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
Recognizing the symptoms of periodontal disease early can help you seek treatment promptly. Common symptoms include:
- Red, Swollen Gums: Inflammation and tenderness in your gums.
- Bleeding Gums: Bleeding during brushing or flossing.
- Receding Gums: Gums that are pulling away from your teeth, making them look longer.
- Bad Breath: Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.
- Loose Teeth: Teeth that feel loose or shifting in position.
- Pus Between Teeth and Gums: Signs of infection in your gums.
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with Dr. Pandya for an evaluation.
Tooth Extraction FAQ
When you come to Flossophy Dental for an orthodontic screening, here’s what you can expect:
Is tooth extraction painful?
The extraction itself is not painful due to the use of anesthesia. You may experience some discomfort afterward, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and proper care.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within a few days. Full healing of the extraction site typically takes a few weeks.
What should I eat after a tooth extraction?
Stick to soft foods and avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that might irritate the extraction site. Gradually reintroduce solid foods as you heal.
What are the risks of not removing an impacted tooth?
Leaving an impacted tooth untreated can lead to pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and other dental issues.
