Periodontics
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease or pyorrhea, is a condition many otherwise healthy individuals may unknowingly have. Bleeding gums is often the first, and only, indication that periodontal disease is present. Left untreated, the condition only worsens and may ultimately result in tooth loss, gum deterioration, and more. The bacteria that causes the infection can spread throughout the body and increase your risk of heart disease, pulmonary infections, gastric ulcer re-infection, and other severe health issues.
Dr. Michel halts the progression of gum disease and repairs deteriorated tissue with our successful, four-pronged, non-surgical treatment plan.
- First, we eliminate the bacteria causing the infection with a deep cleaning or topical antibiotics.
- Then we determine the source of the problem and find ways to build up your resistance.
- If bone has deteriorated, Dr. Michel will correct and rebuild your oral supporting structures so that your mouth functions properly.
- In order to maintain your renewed periodontal health, we'll develop a plan of action to lessen your risk of future infection.
Healthy gums are crucial to oral and overall health. At Michel Dental, we'll help you achieve strong gums for lasting wellness and an improved quality of life.
