FINDING GUARANTON DISEASE
Periodontal disease (severe gingivitis) is a disease of the tissues surrounding the teeth such as gums, alveolar bone, ligaments. When this organization is inflamed, it will cause symptoms of bleeding gums, red swollen gums, bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, and gradually spread out.

This is a disease that many people encounter, due to poor oral care, as well as not going to the doctor, regularly cleaning teeth, causing tartar to form and stick to the crown of the teeth and cause periodontal disease.
Periodontal disease usually progresses through 2 stages: gingivitis and periodontitis. At the stage of gingivitis, if treated in time, the disease will be completely cured, gingivitis is reversible, but if left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis when the tissue that connects the gums to the teeth is broken. cancel.

Why treat periodontitis?
Periodontitis not only causes problems with bleeding gums, bad breath, swollen gums, loose teeth but more dangerous is the risk of early tooth loss. According to the study, in cases of early tooth loss after the age of 35, periodontitis is the main cause.
While the consequences of periodontal disease are particularly serious, early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of tooth loss.
PROCEDURES FOR TREATMENT OF gingivitis at OVERVIEW DENTAL
1. Diagnostic examination of periodontal disease
When you detect signs of periodontal disease, you will receive an in-depth examination and plan for periodontal treatment. In the periodontal examination, the patient will be measured the pocket of all teeth to assess the status of periodontal disease. Simultaneously, the patient will be photographed panoramic film and full mouth film (14 films) to evaluate the periodontal status in detail.

After collecting sufficient diagnostic data, the periodontist will develop a detailed treatment plan for the patient’s periodontal condition.
2. Process of periodontal treatment
The treatment of periodontitis depends on the extent of the disease, we will have appropriate treatment solutions.
Scaling: Helps to clean tartar that has been attached to the crown for a long time. With the method of scaling with an ultrasonic vibrator, the risk of damage to the gums is minimized and does not affect the pulp
Treatment to clean the root of the tooth with periodontal disease (periodontal pocket scraping):
This method is used to treat periodontitis, called non-surgical treatment, if the periodontitis is mild, that is, the periodontal pocket is not very deep, the adhesion loss is small.
Periodontal surgery
If the disease is more severe, the periodontal pocket is deep (> 5mm, extensive loss of adhesion, severe alveolar resorption, inflammation of the subosteal pocket or intraosseous pocket) requires a more complex intervention than gingival surgery.
Note:
- Gingivitis is one of the first manifestations of periodontal disease, periodontal treatment includes curing gingivitis and inflammation of the tissues around the teeth.
- In many cases, patients with periodontal disease are often complicated by long-term complications, so they still need root canal treatment. In case the patient is allergic to local anesthetic and has diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, etc., the new anesthetic must be replaced with myelosuppressive drugs.
- Because the progression of periodontal disease is quite complicated. Depending on the patient’s condition, the dentist will designate the appropriate level of treatment support and save costs for the patient.
- It is important to prevent periodontal disease that you have good oral hygiene (flossing), correct, and scraping once every 6 months, you can rest assured that your teeth will limit periodontitis clearly, health Your oral health is always guaranteed.
