Periodontitis, a severe gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone supporting your teeth, can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems if left untreated.
Recognizing the signs of periodontitis and seeking prompt treatment is crucial to maintaining oral health and overall well-being.
Effective Treatment Strategies
Under the expertise of Dr. Ahmed Farid, a specialized periodontist, patients can expect comprehensive treatment plans tailored to the severity of their condition, including:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning, non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, halting the progression of periodontitis.
- Medications: Antibiotics may be used alongside scaling and root planing to reduce bacteria and inflammation.
- Surgical Treatments: For more advanced cases, surgical options such as flap surgery (pocket reduction surgery) and bone and tissue grafts may be necessary to restore periodontal health.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
- Customized Care: Treatment begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of periodontitis and to develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Ongoing Support: Dr. Farid provides detailed aftercare instructions and recommendations for at-home oral hygiene to prevent future periodontal issues.
- Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor healing and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment plan.
