Introduction
Periodontal (gum) disease is a prevalent condition that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and other health complications. Understanding the stages of periodontal disease and seeking timely treatment is crucial to maintaining oral health. This guide delves into the importance of periodontal care, available treatments, and how WDA-MA supports patients with preventive and therapeutic gum care.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
- Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed when brushing.
- Periodontitis: Advanced gum disease involving the destruction of gum tissue and bone that support the teeth, leading to loose teeth and potential tooth loss.
Periodontal Treatments at WDA-MA
- Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar below the gumline.
- Laser Therapy: Minimally invasive treatment to reduce bacteria and promote gum healing.
- Surgical Options: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to restore gum and bone health.
