Everyone knows that regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining optimum oral health. Professional teeth cleaning and the prevention of dental problems go hand in hand. The American Dental Association estimates that 8 out of 10 Americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation and bacterial infection of the gums surrounding the teeth.
Teeth cleaning does more that just clean your teeth. Removing plaque is essential if you want to preserve your teeth. Plaque builds up on the tooth surfaces and between the teeth. Brushing and flossing are of course vital, but everyone needs their teeth professionally cleaned on a regular basis
With mild periodontal disease, there are very effective NON-surgical procedures which, coupled with improved dental hygiene, can halt the spread of the disease in its tracks. Essentially, the pockets around the teeth containing bacteria must be cleaned. This, too, is usually covered under most dental insurance plans. Then, of course, the patient must keep them clean with regular brushing and flossing.
We have a soft tissue management program (soft tissue = gums). Part of this program is regular cleanings, LASER gum treatments when needed, and the latest in medications to prevent gum disease. You will also receive home care instructions and at least three follow-up examinations to make sure you’re doing fine.
Regular visits to the dentist are essential for maintaining optimum oral health. Professional teeth cleaning and the prevention of dental problems go hand in hand. We are very interested in heading trouble off BEFORE it happens. This saves you time and expense.
Target Gum Disease at the Source
Tooth loss is almost always attributable to gum disease (aka periodontal disease), not tooth decay. Patients are often not even aware of the extent of their gum disease until they see the dentist, and many worry about the potential for painful treatment. But Dr. Piroli uses a fantastic, pain-free solution called ARESTIN™. This powder carries invisible microspheres that deliver a time-released antibiotic to the spaces between the gums and teeth where bacteria lingers. ARESTIN kills the bacteria that causes gum disease.
