Periodontal treatment (gum disease treatment) is not especially painful because your holistic dentist in Charlotte, NC, uses the latest techniques and technologies to help ensure your comfort during treatment.
A few of the ways we treat gum disease include:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This method removes a significant amount of infection from beneath the gumline and encourages the tissue to adhere to the teeth and roots.
- Antibiotics: Antibiotics can be topical or in pill form. This medication helps clear up an infection.
- Ozonated Irrigation: This technology allows the dentist to irrigate the gums, reducing the bacterial count.
- Multi-Lock System Laser: This technology reduces inflammation and pain for our patients who have been diagnosed with gum disease.
About Gum Disease in Charlotte, NC
Gum disease is a condition of the gums characterized by infections and inflammation below the gumline. In early disease (gingivitis), the infection and inflammation may be limited to the soft tissues. Bone involvement indicates advanced periodontitis.
Gingivitis may be curable, but advanced disease is only treatable.
However, treatment is vital to protect your teeth and overall wellness.
