Periodontal Disease Treatment in Rialto

The health of your smile plays a significant role in maintaining your overall wellness. As a result, when the development of gingivitis or late-stage gum disease, it can increase the risk of developing additional health problems. When it comes to protecting your smile, Sandoval Dental is your home for comprehensive care and lasting results.

How Periodontal Disease Works

Daily brushing and flossing help remove plaque from teeth, but without regular professional removal, plaque can accumulate and harden into tartar, which in turn accelerates bacteria growth within the mouth. This creates a habitable environment for bacteria that can irritate the gums and cause swelling, redness, and bleeding.

The advanced stage of gingivitis is periodontitis, a result of ineffective treatment of the first stage of periodontal disease. The buildup of bacteria causes the infected tissue to pull away from your teeth, creating gaps between the teeth and gums. If not properly treated, there is a risk of tooth loss and bone deterioration.

Failing to treat this disease can affect your overall health, increasing the chance of stroke, and respiratory diseases. Patients with diabetes and periodontal disease may find it more difficult to control their blood sugar levels, and pregnant women also increase their risk for complications during and after birth.

At our Rialto practice, we are diligent with our examinations of your dental anatomy and promote positive and effective at home oral care. With this and other treatment options, Sandoval Dental provides comprehensive solutions for preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease.

Powerful, Comprehensive Periodontal Disease Treatment in Rialto

Our periodontal treatments are designed on a case-by-case method, providing patients with the individualized care they deserve. The first stage of periodontal disease, gingivitis, can be treated with more frequent teeth cleanings and an emphasis on proper oral home care. With more advanced cases, root scaling and planing may be necessary. During this non-surgical procedure, we gently clean beneath your gums and around your teeth with specially designed tools and techniques.

Significantly advanced periodontal disease may require surgical intervention when the disease does not respond to deep cleaning or other non-surgical options. Under these circumstances, we can perform periodontal surgeries that both eliminate disease and promote the rehabilitation of damaged connective tissue.
