Periodontal treatment

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is one of the most serious conditions in dentistry. The causes of this disease include the accumulation of tartar and plaque deep below the gumline, bacterial infection, and the patient’s individual susceptibility.

Periodontal disease can lead to many serious consequences. It causes bone loss around the teeth, gum recession, tooth mobility, and even tooth loss. In addition, it often creates unpleasant breath, making people feel self-conscious when communicating with others.

Many studies have also shown that periodontal disease is closely related to overall health. It can worsen existing conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, negatively affect the general health of elderly individuals, and pose particular risks for pregnant women.

To minimize these consequences, periodontal disease should be treated promptly and monitored long-term. The dentists at hiDental are professionally trained at leading medical universities both in Vietnam and abroad. With their expertise and dedication, you can feel confident receiving the highest standard of care and treatment at hiDental Dental Clinic.

Periodontal Treatment Process at hiDental Dental Clinic

1. First, the dentist performs a comprehensive oral examination and consultation regarding your overall oral health condition.
2. The dentist removes tartar above and below the gumline using specialized instruments and cleans infected areas with professional irrigation solutions.
3. The dentist then addresses the consequences of periodontal disease, including root canal treatment for non-vital teeth, extraction of severely loose teeth that cannot be preserved, prosthetic restoration, cosmetic bone grafting, and other necessary treatments.
4. Finally, the dentist will monitor and reassess the progression of the disease. Typically, follow-up visits are scheduled after 4 weeks, after 6 weeks, and then every 6 months to control recurrence.
