Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common oral health issue that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Without proper treatment, periodontal disease can lead to serious consequences such as tooth loss and systemic health problems.

Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease

It is essential to recognize the signs of periodontal disease early on to seek timely treatment. Some common symptoms include:

• Bleeding gums
• Swollen or tender gums
• Receding gumline
• Bad breath
• Persistent bad taste in the mouth

The Benefits of Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment not only halts the progression of gum disease but also offers numerous benefits for your overall dental health:

• Improved Gum Health: Periodontal treatment helps reduce inflammation, promoting healthier gums.
• Prevent Tooth Loss: By addressing gum disease early, you can prevent the loss of teeth and preserve your natural smile.
• Enhanced Overall Health: Research has shown a link between gum disease and systemic health conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can positively impact your overall well-being.
• Boosted Confidence: A healthy smile can enhance your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.

Our Approach to Periodontal Treatment

At Woburn Sands Dental Practice, we tailor our periodontal treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our skilled dentists utilize the latest techniques and technologies to provide personalized care that prioritizes your comfort and well-being.

Professional Cleanings and Scaling

Regular professional cleanings and scaling help remove plaque and tartar buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease and maintaining optimal oral hygiene.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)

For patients with early-stage gum disease, deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing can effectively remove bacteria and calculus from below the gumline, promoting healing and preventing disease progression.

Ongoing Maintenance and Support

After receiving periodontal treatment, we provide comprehensive follow-up care to ensure the long-term success of the treatment. Our team offers guidance on oral hygiene practices and schedules regular check-ups to monitor your gum health.
