Periodontal Treatment in Brooklyn
What is Periodontitis?
Did you know that more than half of Americans over 30 have some form of periodontal disease? Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects gums and the supporting bone. Symptoms include bleeding, swelling, receding gums, loose teeth, and pain around or under your gums. Research has linked periodontal disease to serious medical conditions including stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. Our expert care at Methal Dental Arts can address periodontal disease with treatments that fit your specific needs.
Periodontal Treatments
-
Scaling & Root Planing
Scaling removes tartar and bacteria from your tooth service and beneath the gums. Root Planing then smooths the gums to allow the gum tissue to heal and reattach to the teeth. This procedure combats bacterial toxins and help sustain your general wellness.
-
Crown Lengthening Surgery
Broken, misshaped or decaying teeth may prohibit a crown from securely attaching. This surgical procedure recontours gum tissue, and sometimes bone, to expose more of the tooth surface. This helps firmly affix crowns to an existing tooth.
-
Antimicrobial Therapy and Medicinal Irrigation
Oral Irrigation flushes the periodontal pocket with antimicrobial solutions. This is a safe and effective way to flush out bacteria and other toxins trapped underneath the gum line.
