Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy

For some patients, surgical dental interventions are necessary, but the good news is that advancements in dental care have made non-invasive, non-surgical dental care more effective for oral health problems. In the event of gum disease, there are many comfortable, non-surgical solutions that help you manage symptoms and get a healthier mouth and body. If you are displaying signs of periodontitis (gum disease), Dr. Miski ,a Specialist Periodontist, is the one who offers non-surgical periodontal treatment to help protect the strength and health of your gums.

Non-Invasive Gum Disease Treatments

Signs of progressing gum disease include puffy or bleeding gum tissue, gum recession, and persistent bad breath. These symptoms worsen over time, but can be effectively managed with non-surgical gum treatment, which includes:
Root Scaling and Planing – More commonly called a deep cleaning, this is the most common treatment in the defense against developing gum disease. Root scaling and planing involves clearing out debris and bacteria from beneath the gum line. A deep cleaning reduces the pockets of bacteria that are characteristic of gum disease. Dr. Miski will also remove build-up from the roots of teeth, making it more difficult for debris to stick to, and accumulate, on tooth roots in the future.
Antibiotics – To help tissues heal, Dr. Miski might place an antibiotic solution under the gum. This process is quick and comfortable and nurtures gum tissue recovery in the face of disease.

You should consider treating gum disease as important as treating any other dental problem, such as a cavity, a chipped tooth, or a tooth ache. Left alone, gum disease can cause serious damage, but Dr. Miski has comfortable and convenient ways to help you manage gum disease symptoms so you can get a healthier smile.
