What Is Periodontal Treatment? Why Is It Necessary?
Periodontal treatment focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases affecting the gums and other supporting structures of your teeth. Gum disease often progresses silently without noticeable symptoms until it reaches advanced stages. Periodontal (gum) treatment can help you prevent the progression of gum disease to avoid tooth loss and other complications. Treatment methods can vary depending on the gum condition’s severity, ranging from non-surgical approaches like scaling and root planing to surgery for more advanced cases. By addressing periodontal issues promptly, you can prevent tooth and bone loss to ensure your gums remain healthy and supportive of your teeth.
How Is Gum Health Linked to Your Overall Health?
Periodontal treatment and maintaining good oral hygiene aren’t just oral health concerns. Gum health has been linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Research indicates that periodontal disease is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The inflammation and bacteria caused by gum disease can lead to hardened arteries. Individuals with gum disease may also experience poorer blood sugar control, making conditions like diabetes worse. The chronic inflammation associated with gum disease may also cause respiratory infections and other lung health complications.
