About Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal treatment is a type of dental treatment that focuses on preventing and treating periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and other serious health problems.
Periodontal treatment may include non-surgical or surgical methods, depending on the severity of the disease. Non-surgical methods include scaling and root planing, which involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and smoothing the roots to prevent further bacteria buildup. This is usually done under local anesthesia.
Surgical methods include flap surgery, bone and tissue grafts, and guided tissue regeneration. Flap surgery involves lifting the gums to clean the roots and bone underneath. Bone and tissue grafts are used to regenerate lost bone or tissue, while guided tissue regeneration involves placing a membrane over the treated area to encourage growth of new bone and tissue.
