When you have a more severe stage of periodontal disease, this could weaken and destroy the bone and gums tissues supporting your teeth, increasing the risk of tooth loss. In addition to managing the disease, we can offer care to regenerate these tissues. At your Dallas, TX, periodontal treatment office, we can offer regeneration for your smile!
How Your Smile Loses Support
Periodontal disease will grow in severity over time. Without treatment, this means you can develop the stage known as periodontitis, which begins to harm the overall stability of your smile. At this stage, the disease is weakening the connective structures between the gums and the teeth, which can leave them loose and increases the risk of tooth loss. In addition, this begins to weaken the underlying bone structure too, which further erodes the support your teeth need to stay in place. In addition to treatments to help manage the disease and prevent tooth loss, we need to correct the loss of support structure, which we do with a unique regenerative treatment.
The Regeneration Process
To begin the process, the doctor will fold back the gum tissue in order to expose and remove the deposits of bacteria and tartar. We then apply unique membranes, bone grafts, or proteins to stimulate tissue growth and help the body regenerate bone and gum tissue. Once the harmful bacteria are removed and the medications begin to encourage growth of natural structures, your smile can heal and you can avoid the need for tooth extraction or the onset of tooth loss.
Management with Preventive Care
Following the procedure, we want to ensure you maintain good oral health and protect your smile from increased pocket depth and damage to the gums and teeth due to disease. With daily oral hygiene habits, you can limit the severity of buildup and protect the smile. We recommend brushing in the morning and then again at night for two minutes with a fluoride toothpaste. You also need to floss every evening before you brush the second time. Our team can also offer periodontal maintenance with a cleaning every three to four months. With the right steps, your smile can stay healthy and whole.
