This intense regime begins with – Full-mouth disinfection. This is for the treatment of Chronic Periodontitis (gum disease) in adults. Periodontal disease affects the bone and gum that provide support for your teeth, which if left untreated can result in your teeth becoming loose and falling out.
Chronic Periodontitis is treated by removing bacteria and hard deposits that affect root surfaces underneath the gum. The aim is to complete this procedure within a short time frame of 12-24 hours; this is to minimise the chance of re-infection with bacteria coming from other areas of the oral cavity, such as the tongue, tonsils and interdental spaces. This procedure is to try and minimise and stabilise the loss of bone support and tissues which help keep the teeth firm within the dentition and in the long run prevent tooth loss.
Periodontal Disease cannot be cured but through regular maintenance and care you can prevent its symptoms.
