Can Severe Periodontal Disease Be Treated?

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a serious condition that affects the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. When left untreated, it can cause loose teeth, bad breath, and even tooth loss. The good news is that severe periodontal disease can be treated with proper oral hygiene, lifestyle changes, and professional dental care.

Oral Hygiene

Good oral hygiene is essential in preventing and treating periodontal disease. Brushing and flossing twice a day can help remove plaque and bacteria, which can cause gum inflammation and infection. It's also important to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups.

Lifestyle Changes

Smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and eating a poor diet can all contribute to periodontal disease. Making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and eating a healthy, balanced diet can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease or help manage the condition if you already have it.

Professional Dental Care

Your dentist can diagnose and treat periodontal disease. Depending on the severity of the condition, your dentist may recommend a deep cleaning, scaling, and root planing, or gum grafting. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to help clear up any infection.

Yes, severe periodontal disease can be treated. In fact, it is important to treat periodontal disease to avoid further damage to the gums and teeth. Treatment for periodontal disease depends on the severity of the condition.

For mild to moderate cases of periodontal disease, the dentist may recommend an oral hygiene regimen, including brushing and flossing twice a day, and regular professional cleaning and scaling to remove plaque and tartar. In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to help reduce inflammation and infection.

For more severe cases, the dentist may recommend periodontal surgery. This may involve cutting away damaged gum tissue and bone, or it may involve grafting new tissue to replace what has been lost. In some cases, a pocket reduction procedure may be performed to reduce the depth of pockets between the teeth and gums.

No matter what the treatment plan, it is important to follow the dentist's instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome. Regular check-ups and cleanings are also essential to maintaining long-term periodontal health.
