Advance Dental Care

The causative factor of periodontal disease is the dental plaque. Therefore its treatment is focused on the removal of plaque and tartar (calculus) by careful scaling of the root surfaces. This is managed basically by non-surgical treatment, which is concluded in 3-4 appointments and under local anesthesia. In advanced cases, there might be a need for periodontal surgery in order to have better access for cleaning the root surfaces and creating better anatomy of the bone and the gums. The same kind of local anesthesia is used and in the majority of the cases the patients don’t complain for any discomfort whatsoever. They can go to work and follow their usual habits. For very nervous patients, sedation is offered. During the treatment the patients learn exactly what periodontal disease is and why they suffer from this disease. One very important aspect of the treatment is that they learn how to perform careful home care, which will prevent further problems with their teeth and gums.
