What is Periodontal Disease? Periodontal disease is a common inflammatory condition that affects the and surrounding soft tissues of the tooth also affect the jawbone itself in the advanced stages. It is mostly caused by the reason for gingivitis which is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue. This bacterial infection settles in the gum pockets between the teeth, it is difficult to remove and treat. Periodontal disease destroys the connective tissue and jawbone and becomes the reason for tooth loss.

Periodontal Diagnosis An experienced Dentist Gaithersburg can diagnose Periodontal disease while periodontal examination. The dentist uses a periodontal probe to measure the pocket or space between the gum. With this tool, they investigate the depth of sulcus and determine whether there is bleeding or not. In the advanced stage of periodontal disease, the sulcus gets deeper. The dentist will use pocket depths, amount of bleeding, inflammation, tooth mobility, etc., to make a diagnosis that will fall into a category below: • Gingivitis • Periodontitis • Advanced Periodontitis
Periodontal Treatment Dentist Gaithersburg MD will first evaluate the periodontal disease and after that suggest the suitable treatment. Following are the treatment recommended according to the stage of disease. • In the early stage of gingivitis, if there is no damage yet, then only with one to two routine cleanings is enough to treat disease. The patient must follow the instructions given by the dentist to improve daily oral hygiene habits. • In the advanced stage, a special periodontal cleaning called scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) will be suggested. • If it seems that pockets don't heal even after scaling and root planing, then dentist recommends periodontal surgery.
