Periodontics in Kingman, AZ
Periodontics is the study and practice of treating periodontal disease. It is conducted by highly trained, qualified and experienced dental professionals in clinical environments. Periodontics are dentists who have studied several additional years on top of the ordinary dental qualification.
Also referred to as gum disease, periodontal disease is a complex condition of the gum. It first manifests itself as gingivitis, a condition characterized by mild bacterial infection. Your dentist can simply administer anti-microbial mouthwash if the condition is in the first stage.
How periodontics are done
The second stage of periodontal disease is referred to as periodontitis. Here, our dentists can administer root planing and periodontal scaling to physically remove the infection. You may have to come back to our clinic for additional oral exams to ensure that infection does not spread.
Our dental assistants will prepare your mouth by numbing it. Next, a dental expert will perform a deep cleansing, not just on your teeth surface, but also on the roots beneath the surface. This is an effective plaque removal procedure.
