Combatting Periodontal Disease

Surgical, Non-Surgical Gum Therapy: Effective Treatments and the Importance of Dental Cleaning at KA Dental

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a prevalent issue affecting many individuals. Characterized by symptoms like gum bleeding and other gum problems, it requires prompt and effective treatment. KA Dental, serving West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, and Boynton Beach, offers a range of periodontal disease treatments, emphasizing the critical role of professional dental cleaning in managing and preventing this condition.

Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease begins with plaque buildup, leading to inflamed and bleeding gums, a condition known as gingivitis. If untreated, it can progress to more severe forms, causing damage to the gum tissue and bone, and potentially leading to tooth loss. Recognizing symptoms like gum bleeding, swelling, and discomfort is crucial for early intervention.

Why Dental Cleaning is Key in Treating Gum Problems

Regular dental cleanings are essential in preventing the progression of gum disease. These cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, which are the primary culprits in causing gum inflammation. At KA Dental, our skilled dental hygienists perform thorough cleanings, reaching areas that are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing. This preventive measure is vital in maintaining healthy gums and preventing the onset of periodontal disease.

Advanced Periodontal Disease Treatments at KA Dental

For those already experiencing gum problems, KA Dental offers advanced treatment options. Our team includes experienced periodontists near you who specialize in the treatment of gum disease. Our treatment approach includes:

  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): This procedure involves cleaning below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth roots, helping to reduce gum inflammation and bleeding.

  • Medication: In some cases, antibiotics or other medications may be prescribed to control infection and inflammation associated with periodontal disease.

  • Laser Treatment: Utilizing advanced laser technology, we can effectively treat infected gum tissue with minimal discomfort and quicker healing times.

  • Surgical Options: For advanced cases, surgical treatments, such as flap surgery or bone grafting, may be necessary to restore the health of the gums and supporting structures.

Preventing Periodontal Disease

Prevention is always better than cure. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at KA Dental are crucial in preventing gum disease. Our team also emphasizes the importance of good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, to maintain optimal gum health.
