Dr. Suri of Kings Dental in Garland, TX is a dentist who provides a wide range of periodontal disease treatments. Gum disease is an infection of the mouth that can cause permanent, negative problems. It can result in loss of gum tissue, natural teeth, and bone.
When patients get a diagnosis of gum disease, they may be faced with three different options for treatment, including:
The earlier stages of gum disease, typically known as gingivitis, may just require a thorough cleaning at the dental office. This hygiene treatment is the same cleaning done during a regular evaluation. It removes plaque and tartar from surfaces of teeth and gums to restore oral health.
A more aggressive treatment is that of scaling and root planing. This deep cleansing procedure includes cleaning underneath the gums, which gets to the roots of the teeth that are not visible. This is the most appropriate way to clean the teeth and start bringing the smile back to health, following periodontal disease.
Antibiotics are the best way to address an infection. Our dental team, once we have determined that the patient has an infection, can prescribe antibiotics for patients to take orally. We also have antibiotics that we can apply topically to the infection in the mouth to provide direct treatment. Sometimes we combine both for optimum effectiveness.
