The Treatment of Periodontitis

Many of us brush our teeth every day but it’s easy to overlook small warning signs such as bleeding roots when brushing, bad breath, or red swollen gums. Did you know that those are the first “rings” of periodontitis, one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults?

Periodontitis does not stop at the usual feeling of numbness or swelling. If not intervened in time, it will silently destroy the entire support system of the tooth. Understanding the severity of this disease, Vic’s Dental offers an in-depth treatment solution: Anti-inflammatory, deep cleansing of the tissue around the teeth and restoration of damaged gums. Prevent the risk of gum recession, loosening or mass tooth loss. Let’s find out the details of this smile-saving regimen!

Periodontitis: The “silent killer” wreaks havoc on the smile

Periodontals are a collection of tissues around the teeth, including: gums, periodontal ligaments, enamel at the root of the tooth, and alveolar bone. The main function of this system is to keep the teeth standing firm and protect them from harmful agents.

Periodontitis originates from the accumulation of plaque and tartar for a long time under the gum line. Bacteria in plaque will secrete toxins that cause inflammation. In the early stages (gingivitis), the disease usually develops silently, causing little pain, so it is easy to ignore. However, when the disease progresses severely, the bacteria will go deeper, destroying the ligament structure and destroying the alveolar bone. As a result, the gums lose their adhesion, the teeth lose their solid support, leading to swelling of pus, abscesses and finally irreversible tooth loss.

Completely prevent the risk of gum recession and mass tooth loss

The greatest value of timely treatment of periodontitis lies not only in quenching the pain or eliminating bad breath, but more importantly, in protecting the anatomical structure of the jaw.

By clearing inflammation, the regimen at Vic’s Dental helps prevent the risk of gum recession – a condition that exposes the roots of the teeth causing severe numbness and aesthetic loss. At the same time, when alveolar bone loss is controlled, the periodontal ligaments will restore elasticity, keep the root of the tooth standing firmly, and completely end the worry of wobbling or mass tooth loss. You’ll regain your strong chewing ability and confidence in everyday communication.
