What Is Periodontal Disease Treatment?
Many oral concerns, such as gum disease, can adversely alter an individual's general wellness. Commonly known as periodontal disease, gum disease is a progressive gum condition that develops in a large number of Americans every year. Due to damaging dental bacteria, periodontal disease is a principal factor in loose or missing teeth in older clients and can be associated with various general health conditions. These bacteria reside within plaque deposits that can pile up on the teeth and give off toxins that will start to affect the gumline, bone, and other structures that hold each tooth in the proper place.
Gum disease is generally composed of three progressive phases; the beginning stage of gum disease is gingivitis, followed by periodontitis. The final and most serious phase of the disease is called advanced periodontitis. Diagnosing and managing periodontal disease soon may help prevent deterioration and protect your overall wellness. For those who experience symptoms, like puffy or discolored gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, or persistent sour breath (also known as halitosis), gum disease could diminish their oral wellness.
Fortunately, Dr. Lisa Browning at Aspire Dental Spa performs many innovative procedures to eliminate gum disease, regardless of its severity. Call our practice in Beachwood, OH as soon as possible to schedule a biannual comprehensive dental evaluation, and learn how we treat gum disease.
How Is Gum Disease Treated?
Diagnosing and promptly managing the problem could be necessary to maintain the condition of your oral structures. To discover if periodontal disease affects your oral health, we will use a precise device to assess the pockets separating gum tissue and tooth roots. If these spaces are more than three millimeters deep, it might be a matter of concern. Advanced x-rays can also help Dr. Browning measure the level of bone securing each tooth and learn if a later stage of gum disease is present.
At Aspire Dental Spa, we have advanced screenings to detect your current phase of gum disease and will determine an appropriate route for treatment. The primary stage of gum disease (gingivitis) is commonly addressed with a thorough cleaning and better daily oral hygiene. To manage periodontitis, the following level of gum disease, SRP (occasionally called scaling and root planing) procedures are offered and may be paired with locally applied antibiotics. Progressive-stage cases of periodontal disease may be more effectively addressed by employing a more intensive option, including gum contouring, gum surgery, or bone grafting methods.

Dr. Browning is the best dentist I have encountered in my adult years being responsible for my healthcare plans! I left for a minute because I wanted a dentist closer to home- BUT I am back and it was the best decision that I could have ever made for me and my son! I was amazed with all the technology and how professional and knowledgeable her staff was. I also got to see Dr. Browning in her leadership role teaching her team as she was noticing things! She is the truth and I am glad to be back home with the Browning Team!
