Treatment Of Periodontal Problems

Periodontal problems refer to conditions that affect the tissues that support the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The treatment for periodontal problems depends on the severity and type of condition.

Treatment:

Professional Cleaning (Scaling): A dentist or hygienist removes plaque and tartar through a procedure called scaling.
Improved Oral Hygiene: Brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily are essential to prevent plaque buildup.
Antimicrobial Mouthwash: Your dentist may recommend an antimicrobial mouthwash to help reduce bacteria in the mouth.
