ABOUT Periodontal Treatment

What Are Periodontal Treatments?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an extremely common bacterial infection of the gums and bone that support the teeth, and it’s usually brought on by a lack of oral hygiene. Early symptoms of periodontal disease include red, swollen gums that tend to bleed easily, and if left untreated, it can ultimately lead to tooth loss! At Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL our team will screen your gums whenever you come to see us, and should we spot the slightest sign of periodontal disease and any necessary periodontal treatment.

Common reasons for periodontal treatment:

Bleeding gums when brushing your teeth
Bright red or red-purple appearance to gums
Tender gums when touched
A shiny appearance to gums
Mouth sores
Loose teeth

01. Gum Disease Treatment

If you are experiencing a change in your bite, swollen or bleeding gums, or receding gums, it could be a sign that you are experiencing the early stages of gum disease. Luckily, most cases of early-stage gum disease are treatable, and symptoms can be reversed. With a combination of professional deep-cleaning from Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL and strict adherence to proper dental hygiene, you can restore your smile and preserve your teeth.

02. Advanced-Stage Gum Disease Treatment

Many times invasive treatments can be avoided by the placement of medications or antibiotics under the gingival or gum, tissues. Irrigants can be very effective as well and the instruction of proper home care. Patients that have advance forms of gum disease will often require more aggressive and invasive treatments. This can include gum flap surgery, where the gum is lifted back to clean the root surface and is stitched back into place. This helps gums to reattach themselves to the tooth, preventing further infection. If severe gum or bone damage has occurred, patients may require gum tissue or bone grafts to encourage healthy tissue regrowth. At Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL, we will discuss all your treatment options with you. It is important to note that any gum disease treatment’s success depends on the patient’s dedication to improving their oral hygiene.

03. Scaling & Root Planing

A scaling and root planing treatment is sometimes called a “deep cleaning,” and this is because it targets the plaque and bacteria located below the gum line. With scaling, an ultrasonic cleaner will be used to break up and remove all the plaque and tartar deposits located around your gums, and then root planing will be used to gently smooth out the rough surfaces of your teeth’s roots.

04. Soft Tissue Laser Treatment

As part of your periodontal treatment, we may also choose to use our soft tissue laser. This tool uses an extremely concentrated beam of light to instantly vaporize harmful bacteria along the gum line, and it can also painlessly remove infected tissue. This technology allows us to be precise, and it involves very little discomfort and bleeding. In fact, when we use our soft tissue laser, you may not need any local anesthetic, and your healing time is drastically reduced.

05. Infection Control

At Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL we can also apply a topical antibiotic to reach the small spaces where bacteria can hide. This periodontal treatment only takes a couple of minutes, but it continues working long after you leave our Boca Raton, FL dental office. We may need to make another application three to four months later, but this is an effective way to kill the bacteria in your mouth and give your gums a fresh start. This method of treatment can help to avoid and/or prevent more invasive procedures. We take pride in our ability to stimulate healing through the least invasive treatments and try to avoid surgical procedures where possible.

  Dr. Markowitz and his staff genuinely care about their patients, their teeth and their experience in the dentist’s chair. I came in for a complex procedure that I was a little nervous about. Dr. Markowitz made it seem simple and easy. He was very focused, precise and careful to make sure I was comfortable and that the procedure was a success. His staff is friendly and caring and all have a nice rapport which makes the office environment a happy, positive one. I feel completely confident in Dr. Markowitz and know that the dental work I receive is of the best quality. I highly recommend Great Boca Smiles and Dr. Markowitz.
