Non-Surgical Periodontal Procedures
Wylie, Texas
Periodontal disease represents a gum tissue infection typically stemming from inadequate oral hygiene. Plaque will build up on the teeth and eventually harden when brushing and flossing occur less than twice daily and professional cleanings are skipped.
Treatment Approaches
Scaling and Root Planing
A deep cleaning procedure where scaling removes surface buildup, followed by root planing below the gum line to eliminate infection and allow healing.
Antibiotics/Antimicrobials
Oral prescriptions sometimes combined with other treatments for enhanced effectiveness.
Medication Placement
Antimicrobial medication positioned beneath gums post-scaling to eliminate residual bacteria.
Bite Adjustment
Techniques including enamel reshaping, bracing teeth together, or nightguard usage to address loose teeth and grinding issues.
Oral Hygiene
Prevention is the best way to avoid periodontal disease. Daily brushing, flossing, and additional hygiene products are recommended.
