Non-surgical periodontal therapy is a non-surgical approach to treating and rectifying gum disease, or periodontal disease. The process often consists of scaling and root planning or deep cleaning.
Here are some of the ways that non-surgical periodontal therapy can benefit you:
Minimally Invasive:
Non-surgical therapy doesn't require surgical incisions, making it a less invasive option compared to surgical alternatives.
Preserves Teeth:
By removing bacterial plaque and calculus (tartar) from below the gumline, non-surgical therapy can help preserve natural teeth and reduce the risk of tooth loss.
Improves Gum Health:
It can lead to improved gum health, reduced inflammation, and the elimination of gum bleeding and tenderness.
Minimizes Discomfort:
Patients typically experience less pain and discomfort compared to surgical procedures, with shorter recovery times.
Cost-Effective:
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is often more cost-effective than surgical options, making it accessible to a wider range of patients.
Minimal Downtime:
Patients can usually resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal downtime required.
Prevents Systemic Health Issues:
Treating gum disease can help reduce the risk of systemic health problems associated with periodontal disease, such as cardiovascular issues and diabetes complications.
Effective for Mild to Moderate Gum Disease:
Helps halt the progression of the disease and prevent further damage.
Non-Surgical Maintenance:
Following non-surgical therapy, patients can maintain their gum health through regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene practices.
Improves Aesthetic Concerns:
Leads to improved aesthetics by reducing gum inflammation, which may have caused gums to appear red, swollen, or receded.
