Periodontic Treatment Signs
Gum Health Assessment
Our dentist in Section focuses on addressing oral health issues affecting your periodontium—the tissues surrounding your teeth. During your visit, our dentist thoroughly examines your gums, the connective tissue linking teeth to the jawbone, the hard tissue covering teeth roots, and the jawbone section containing tooth sockets. We identify symptoms of periodontal disease which may appear as:
- Changes in teeth alignment
- Reddish or purplish gums
- Loose teeth
- Bad breath
- Unpleasant taste
- Soreness
- Gums pulling away from teeth
Treatment Options
Gum Health Solutions
Our dentist in Fort Payne provides a variety of treatments. Some commonly offered options include:
Scaling and Root Planing
Restore Gum Health
We provide scaling and root planing services for mild periodontal disease. We use local anesthesia to numb the gums. This enables us to conduct a thorough cleaning beneath your gum line, removing hidden harmful bacteria. Additionally, we also smooth the surfaces of your tooth roots to deter plaque and bacteria accumulation.
Surgery
Gum Health Restoration
In our practice, our dentist at Henegar may recommend performing gum surgery to manage moderate to severe periodontal disease. Among the common surgical options available are:
- Pocket reduction surgery: In this procedure, we make a small incision in the gums, creating a flap to access deep-seated plaque and tartar around the tooth roots. Once we clean and smoothen these roots, we reposition your gums and stitch them back into place.
- Gum grafts and bone grafts: For gum grafts, we generally utilize tissue from the mouth's roof or a tissue bank to cover the tooth roots exposed due to gum recession. For bone grafts, we first clean out the infection and then place bone grafting material in eroded areas that act as scaffolding for your body to regenerate bone over time.
