Periodontics

The more traditional treatment of periodontics is known as scraping.

It is performed in the area of the gums that is inflamed or with some infection.

In the office the periodontist is responsible for preventing the patient’s oral health by performing treatments for diseases that can affect the structure of the teeth, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Some bad habits from day to day can cause infection in the gums, called gingivitis and periodontites, which if left untreated, in a short time compromises the structure of the teeth.

The main factors that can cause periodontitis are:

• Smoke
• Excessive stress
• Decreased immunity
• Lack of healthy eating
• Lack of hygiene, mainly

All these factors cause the embryonic fragility and possible infection of the gums due to the bacteria present in the mouth.

The procedure is performed by the dentist, who removes all bacterial plaque and tartar that is in the gum through a scraping that can be optimized with the ultra sonic vibration instrument.

Surgeries are only indicated when the instrument is not reaching any affected area of the gum and the procedure is performed so the dentist can treat all the inflammation or infection.

A simple procedure with which the patient will have more quality in his oral health besides ensuring that the teeth do not suffer displacement and become stronger.
