What You Need to Know About Gum Disease
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common oral disease that affects over 46 million Americans. It causes a patient’s gums to pull away from teeth, creating pockets around the teeth which can increase the risk of bacterial overgrowth, infection and decay. Over time patients that suffer from gum disease may experience the following symptoms:
- Loose Teeth
- Teeth Spacing Issues
- Infected Gums
- Red Gums
- Tooth Loss
Before a scaling and root planing gum disease treatment is considered, Dr. Horne will want to evaluate your teeth, gums and overall oral health to determine if you suffer from gum disease and are a candidate for the non-surgical gum disease treatment.
Dental Scaling Encinitas
Considering teeth scaling? We have special tools at Steve Horne, DDS that allow us to carefully scale plaque, bacterial toxins and tartar deposits from your teeth and root surfaces. This will allow gums and pockets to heal and re-attach to teeth properly.
Root Planing Encinitas
After scaling is complete, Dr. Horne will begin root planing. The root surfaces will be smoothed, removing rough areas from the root. This will keep bacteria, plaque and tartar from re-adhering to the root surfaces, allowing gums to reattach firmly and heal correctly.
