Periodontal gum disease is a serious condition, and it can worsen over time. If you are fortunate enough to address it at the early stages of development, you can reverse the effects of periodontal disease as long as you remain diligent in your pursuit of healthy teeth and gums. If your condition is more advanced, there is still a good chance that you can reverse the effects of periodontal disease with some special cleaning efforts by your dentist.

In order to fight periodontal disease and potentially reverse the effects of existing periodontal gum disease, there a several steps you should take every day. One of the first things you must do is to establish a routine of daily brushing of your teeth. This should be done every morning before bed and again at night. Brushing and rinsing between meals is also an excellent way to maintain a health mouth and remove bacteria that causes periodontal disease.

The elimination of bacteria is one of the most important factors, and rinsing your mouth with a quality mouthwash, preferably one that contains antibacterial ingredients, will help tremendously. If you are able to rinse at least twice each day for a full thirty seconds, your chances of fighting periodontal disease will be vastly improved.

It is also imperative that you floss daily and that you are flossing properly. You will need to ensure that the floss cleans between your teeth, but more importantly, you should focus on getting the floss just below the gum line in order to remove troublesome bacteria from these areas.

Flossing is important but you can replace your flossing routine with an innovative and powerful oral irrigator. These utilize a small pulsating jet of water to flush food and bacteria particles from in between your teeth and clean your gums. Some irrigators are equipped with special tips designed to reach deeply into your gum pockets for a more thorough cleaning and these devices may be required if you are already suffering from periodontitis.

For cases of mild periodontitis you may be able to reverse the effects yourself by engaging in the practices outlined above, but if you have a serious infection, professional help may be required from a dentist. If you are unable to reduce or control any infections in your teeth or gums it is important to contact us at Saifee Family Dentistry today.

Severe periodontal infections may require that your dentist conduct a thorough periodontal cleaning and if deep pockets of bacteria are seen below your gum line on x-rays, the bacteria will have to be scraped out utilizing techniques such as debridement, scaling or root planing. In addition to these procedures, long-term treatments such as a prescription antibacterial mouthwash may be required of you to ensure your continued dental health.

If a debridement, scaling or root planing does not successfully remove the bacteria and infections are still present, your dentist may have to perform periodontal surgery. This type of surgery involves lifting the flaps of you gums to perform a deep cleaning. Afterwards, sutures will hold the gums back in place until they can heal.

Mild periodontal infections may be reversed with an appropriate amount of home dental care, but it is very important to make an appointment with us at Saifee Family Dentistry in Spring, Texas so we can give you a professional evaluation of your gums and your teeth.
