Oral Diseases
Oral diseases, ranging from cavities to cancer, are all serious threats to your oral health. Your oral health is an important part of your overall health.
Only the dentist has the skills, training, and expertise to identify and address all your oral health care needs.
Parodontopathy
Gum disease or periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth and represent the main cause of tooth loss in adults. Periodontal disease is caused by plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that is constantly forming on our teeth.
Symptoms:
The beginning of parodontopathy begins with gum bleeding and bad breath and afterwards brings to gum retraction and atrophy of the gum. The atrophy of the gum brings you to the final stadium of losing the tooth.
Because gum disease is usually painless, you may not know you have it.
Factors That Can Affect the Development of the Parodontopathy:
- Poor oral hygiene and bad lifestyle habits, such as smoking or teeth grinding
- The presence of the plaque
- Genetic factor
- Tight teeth
- Pregnancy
- Diabetes
Treatment
In the case of periodontitis, you should seek professional advice from a dentist as soon as possible. Based on the progress of the disease, the dentist will determine the treatment and explain what the best course of action is.
The therapy always commences with the removal of the tartar and plaque build-up since they are primary causes of the disease.
This condition of the patient can be stopped if detected in the beginning phase, with increased oral hygiene. If the condition is detected in its later phases it can be cured with laser treatment and diadynamophoresis, both showing exquisite results.
Laser
The laser is one of the latest innovation in the dentistry. The benefit that laser is providing is painless drilling or less bleeding, depends on the treatment or where it is used.
The laser is not touching the tooth surface and it is painlessly cleaning the tooth from decay.
One of the main uses of the laser in the dentistry is for the treatment of the parodontopathy. Only red lasers are used for the laser therapy. With the help of the laser the periodontium is sterilized and in meantime, the circulation is stimulated into the gum and the alveolar bone.
Required time for the therapy is 7 days, 1 hour a day. In the first year, this procedure needs to be repeated in 6 months, and afterwards only once a year.
What Are the Advantages of the Laser System?
- It is painless
- Sterility – laser itself sterilizes the tissue and kills all the bacteria
- No bleeding – the laser is doing coagulation to the tissues and during the procedure, there is no bleeding
