Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums. The infection, caused by bacteria causes redness, inflammation, and swelling but can be completely painless. Periodontal disease is usually the second stage of gum disease following gingivitis. Because it is painless, the disease often goes unnoticed till severe bone loss occurs and the teeth start getting loose. The condition might affect a single tooth or a number of teeth in a row.
Contact your dentist if you experience any of these symptoms:
Periodontal disease, if treated early enough, can be cured, but if delayed, you could lose several teeth and the infection could spread to the bone. Do not hesitate to schedule a consultation if you have any of the above-mentioned symptoms.
Periodontal disease is an advanced form of gum disease and is best treated with surgery. At Smooth Dental Group, Dr. Elizabeth Tran is a fully trained, experienced provider in periodontal surgery. Dr. Tran will first examine you thoroughly and assess your condition. She will then inform you if you require surgery and will answer any and all questions you might have. Dr. Tran is extremely careful and very systematic; she will consider your full medical history before starting you on any course of treatment.
Please inform the doctor if you are in any pain or discomfort after the procedure. Anti-inflammatory medication and painkillers can be prescribed to help ease your condition. The doctor will also give you all the instructions you need regarding oral and dental hygiene and post-operative care. Follow up visits will also be scheduled to assure the full success of your treatment.
