Protect the foundation of your smile with periodontal treatment at Dynamic Dental! Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious oral health condition that can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. At our Louisville dental office, we offer comprehensive periodontal treatment to help you maintain healthy gums and a beautiful smile.
Though periodontal disease can affect your health and life, most people don’t do much to ensure they have healthy teeth.
For this reason, it is important to have regular dental cleanings to make sure your smile is healthy. If you get diagnosed with periodontal disease, we are here to help. We will do a thorough cleaning to remove the tartar and other buildup on your teeth and underneath your gums. There are times when additional treatment is necessary, like antibacterial mouthwash, oral antibiotics, or antibiotics placed on your trouble areas.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease is caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to inflammation and infection of the gums and bone that support the teeth. Common signs and symptoms of gum disease include:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen gums
- Red or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loose teeth
Gum Disease Treatment at Dynamic Dental
At Dynamic Dental, we offer top gum disease treatments to help protect your healthy smile, including:
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and roots.
- Arestin: Used in conjunction with a periodontal deep cleaning treatment, Arestin is designed to target and eliminate the harmful bacteria that can cause gum disease. Arestin is applied directly to the infected areas of the gums, for targeted delivery that ensures the medication reaches the source of the problem. With sustained release, Arestin provides continuous protection and helps to reduce the risk of reinfection.
