What is Periodontitis?

Periodontitis causes a serious gum infection which damages gums and the jawbone if not treated properly. It develops over time from poor oral hygiene habits. Individuals with periodontitis experience bad breath, red or swollen gums, loose teeth, receding gums, and tooth loss. Treatment includes professionally cleaning the pockets around teeth. This prevents damage to the surrounding jawbone. Advances cases of periodontitis require surgery to remove diseased gum tissue and reshape gum tissue. Adobe Dentistry will examine your teeth to determine if you have periodontitis and discuss possible treatment options based on your teeth's condition.

How Can I Prevent Periodontitis at Home?

Adobe Dentistry recommends keeping up with oral hygiene daily. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwashes to help prevent gum disease. We suggest using soft-picks or electric toothbrushes to clean hard-to-reach areas. Periodontitis will recur if good oral hygiene is not maintained.
  • Brush & Floss Daily
  • Use Fluoride Toothpaste
  • Replace Toothbrushes Every 3-4 Months
