What Is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a common infection that damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the tooth. Without treatment, the alveolar bone around the teeth is slowly and progressively lost. With the right treatment, periodontal disease can be arrested, and further care can prevent further damage. Gresham patients suffering from periodontal disease will find themselves in capable hands at Gresham Family Dentistry, where we work diligently to stabilize and maintain the oral health of our Gresham patients.
How Is This Different from Standard Dental Cleanings?
Due to the nature of periodontal disease, the dentist or hygienist must evaluate, instrument, and monitor the tissues differently than during standard dental cleanings. The main aim of periodontal treatment is to clean out bacteria from the pockets around the teeth and prevent further destruction of bone and tissue. Cleanings for Gresham patients in need of periodontal maintenance must also be performed more frequently than standard dental cleanings.
