Common Questions About Periodontics
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Healthy gums are essential for maintaining overall oral health, as they help anchor your teeth and protect against infections. Neglecting gum health can lead to serious issues, including tooth loss and systemic health problems. Regular visits to a periodontist, like Dr. Kaeley, can help ensure that your gums stay healthy and free from disease.
How often should I see a periodontist?
The frequency of visits to your periodontist can vary depending on your individual oral health needs. If you have a history of gum disease, it is generally recommended to schedule appointments every three to four months for maintenance and monitoring. Your periodontist will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific condition and risk factors.
What treatments are available for gum disease?
There are several effective treatments for gum disease, ranging from non-surgical options to more advanced surgical procedures. Non-surgical treatments often include deep cleanings, known as scaling and root planing, which remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline. For more severe cases, surgical options like LANAP laser surgery or the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique may be recommended to restore gum health. Dr. Kaeley will assess your situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.
