The Importance of Periodontitis Treatment for Healthy Teeth and Gums
Periodontitis is a serious condition that affects the gums and surrounding tissues of the teeth. Without proper treatment, it can lead to severe oral health issues, including tooth loss and bone damage. At Teeth at Tiong Bahru, we understand the significance of effective periodontitis treatment in maintaining optimal oral health.
Understanding Periodontitis
Periodontitis is a progressive gum disease that occurs when plaque buildup and bacteria cause inflammation and infection in the gums. If left untreated, it can lead to the destruction of the tissues that support the teeth, resulting in tooth loss and other complications.
Effective Treatment Options
At Teeth at Tiong Bahru, our expert dentists offer a range of effective treatment options for periodontitis. These may include:
- Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Antibiotics to control bacterial infection
- Periodontal surgery to repair damaged tissues
- Ongoing maintenance and follow-up care
Preventive Measures
Prevention is key when it comes to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. To reduce the risk of periodontitis, it is essential to:
- Brush and floss regularly to keep plaque at bay
- Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables
- Avoid smoking, which can increase the risk of gum disease
