If you have periodontitis, what better way to proceed to the next course of action than to undergo periodontal disease treatment? Periodontal treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Prior to the treatment, the dental specialist will first evaluate the periodontal disease and develop an appropriate treatment plan. The treatment to be performed largely depends upon the stage of your infection and the deterioration of your gums, teeth, supporting tissues, and bone.
After reviewing your digital radiographs and performing a thorough periodontal exam, your dentist will go over the following:
● What happens during and after the procedure
● Possible complications, risks, benefits, and costs of treatment
● The number of office visits required for treatment
● What to do post-treatment as your gums heal
● How to keep gum disease under control after treatment is complete
● What the maintenance program for your periodontics entails
