About Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that requires treatment; otherwise it leads to inflammation of the gums and bone supporting teeth. If left untreated, this may lead to loss of teeth. In addition to tooth loss, inflammation in your mouth is linked to other inflammatory diseases including heart disease, diabetes and insulin resistance, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, osteoporosis, and many others.

Treatment Options

Non-Surgical Therapy

The Scaling and Root Planing procedure involves the careful cleaning of the root surfaces, in order to remove the plaque, calculus, and bacterial toxins below the gum that are leading to inflammation. This can be used as preventative treatment, or it can be done prior to surgery in more advanced cases.

Surgical & Regenerative Therapy

When Periodontal Disease progresses beyond a certain threshold, restoring your oral health may not be possible with non-surgical therapy alone. For more advanced disease cases, surgical therapy is recommended to help restore the degrading bone and soft tissue support around the teeth.

With surgical therapy, Dr. Kaye will restore cleansability to your mouth, and in many cases can even regenerate the support your teeth have lost, leading to a significantly improved long-term prognosis for your teeth.
