• Periodontal disease treatment before cavities treatment

  

  As periodontal disease progresses, bacteria circulate throughout the body through blood vessels.
  Then, it attacks all parts of the body and causes inflammation in the body, leading to various serious diseases.
  For this reason, our clinic focuses on prevention, and is unique in that we treat periodontal disease before treating cavities.
  There are many benefits for the patient, such as preventing the recurrence of cavities,
  making crowns and fillings last longer, and allowing smooth root canal treatment,
  extending the lifespan of the tooth and reducing the frequency of visits to the dentist.

  We carefully check the adhesion of plaque and tartar, the degree of tooth movement, the presence of cavities,
  the progress of periodontal disease, the degree of bleeding from the gums,
  the depth of the gingival sulcus and periodontal pockets, and whether there are any areas left unpolished. I'll check it out.
  
  We will explain the results of the examination,
  including the progress of cavities and periodontal disease,in an easy-to-understand manner.
  We will then inform you about the type of treatment that should be performed,
  as well as your tooth brushing habits and lifestyle habits for post-treatment maintenance.

  Tartar removal

  If there is any residue left after brushing, plaque and biofilm will form, which over time will turn into tartar due to the action of saliva.
  Plaque and tartar are a mass of bacteria, and it has been shown that thorough cleaning can reduce the number of bacteria in the oral cavity.
  Therefore, tartar removal is performed in multiple sessions depending on the degree of tartar buildup on the patient's teeth.

  Re-examination, interim progress confirmation

  Tartar removal is divided into several sessions, and re-examinations are performed in between.
  You can keep your motivation high as you can see how your oral condition is improving.

  Regular Cleaning

  Regular cleanings will keep your mouth feeling nice and refreshed and reduce your risk of cavities and periodontal disease.
  At our clinic, we recommend that you visit us regularly every 1 to 3 months to maintain a healthy mouth for a lifetime.
  The order may be moved or changed depending on the patient's oral condition.

Periodontal Disease Risk and the Importance of Prevention

Diabetes, myocardial infarction, dementia, osteoporosis, aspiration pneumonia… …
All of these systemic diseases are said to be related to periodontal disease.
To understand this, it is important to understand how periodontal disease progresses.

First of all, plaque, which is a mass of bacteria, forms in your mouth due to unfinished brushing.
Over time, plaque turns into tartar and gradually penetrates deeper into the gums.
Periodontal disease bacteria are anaerobic bacteria that hate air, so the damp and dark gums are a perfect breeding ground.
Periodontal pockets form and the symptoms progress without you noticing.
This is why periodontal disease is called the "silent disease."

If you come to us when you are experiencing pain or discomfort, most cases have become more serious.
In the worst case, you may have to choose tooth extraction.
