Periodontal Services
Periodontal care is essential to addressing the concerns that affect your gums and bone, and the tissues that support your teeth. Parks Legado Dentistry offers treatments to address discomfort and health concerns caused by soft and hard tissue infections. Dr. Bernard Char and his team take a compassionate approach to your periodontal needs with the goal of saving your natural teeth and preserving the structures around them. We offer deep cleaning services and soft tissue surgeries to re-establish oral health.
The Importance of Periodontal Services
The earliest form of periodontal disease is gingivitis, a soft-tissue infection that causes inflammation. Without treatment, the infection can cause gum recession and spread to other areas in the smile, advancing into periodontal disease.
With periodontal disease, the infection can travel through the blood system and cause other health problems. Research has correlated periodontal disease and the following concerns:
- Diabetes
- Osteoporosis
- Heart disease and stroke
- Respiratory diseases and infections
- Low birth weight in newborns
- Health issues for expectant mothers
Many things can contribute to the development of periodontal disease, including genetics, poor nutrition, stress, and tobacco use. Fillings that have become defective and bridges that no longer fit properly can also increase your risk of getting periodontal disease.
Protecting yourself against periodontitis is not only beneficial to your oral health but your overall health as well. Visit our office for a full examination and customized treatment plan.
Treating Periodontal Disease in Odessa
When bacteria build up along the teeth and gums, it forms a film called plaque. Plaque hardens into tartar which makes teeth more laborious to clean. When plaque spreads below the gum line, only a dental professional can remove the tartar and stop the progression of the disease. The team at Parks Legado address all gum tissue problems with a gentle touch, helping renew your complete dental health.
Seeing tender, swollen, and bleeding gums, while performing regular hygiene, are symptoms of periodontal disease. Bernard Char, DDS, and his team are here to help patients when they experience these soft-tissues concerns and offer treatments to address the underlying health issues.
We offer the following periodontal treatments:
- Root Planing and Scaling
- Gum Grafting
- Arestin Treatments
After we provide the initial procedures, we introduce a routine maintenance plan to keep your mouth healthy. We will support your oral health until your smile is fully comfortable and beautiful again.
