PERIODONTITIS TREATMENT

USEFUL INFO

Ignoring any toothache is a very dubious and extremely dangerous occupation. Such a careless attitude to the health of the teeth can result not only in their loss, but also in much more serious health problems. That is why, absolutely all dentists insist that their patients do not forget about periodic scheduled examinations in the dental office. If you follow these recommendations, no dental diseases will threaten you. Unfortunately, sometimes there is simply not enough time or opportunities and we run to the doctor when the pain becomes unbearable. Often, in such advanced cases, one has to deal not with caries, but with periodontitis - a strong purulent inflammation of the tissues around the tooth. Periodontitis is the most severe stage of such a disease as caries, which threatens not only with unbearable aching pain, but also dangerous damage to the tissues of the tooth itself and the bone around it. What are the reasons for the appearance of such a disease and why is it still dangerous and how difficult and lengthy is the elimination of such a disease, like acute purulent periodontitis - scroll on, all the explanations are there!

Periodontitis: What is it, where does it come from and how to get rid of it?

The insidiousness of the disease may lie in the fact that the symptoms may not bother, and even such a disease as advanced periodontitis (acute) which also turns into a chronic disease, which is less painful, but no less dangerous. How can a person get such a disease? Periodontitis is caused by infection of the periodontium. Infection can enter this part of the tooth in two ways: intradentally (inside) and extradentally (outwardly). The first case often leads to untimely or poor-quality treatment of periodontium, in the second - other diseases, such as sinusitis with complications. You can determine periodontitis yourself, because the main symptoms of the disease are:

  • increased toothache that becomes unbearable when tapped or pressed;
  • swelling of the gums around the tooth or cheek;
  • liquid purulent discharge;
  • feeling of the mobility of one of the elements of the dentition.

Treatment of periodontitis is not easy and takes time. It is almost impossible to cope with the disease during one visit to the dentist. You will have to visit the dental chair 3-4 times. The duration of periodontitis treatment, prices and results depend on the complexity of the situation.

Treatment: Lux effect without pain

The dental clinic has serious experience in the treatment of various types of dental diseases, including periodontitis. This process is not easy and therefore requires special care and medical professionalism at each stage of treatment.

  • 1st stage - Diagnostics. An appointment with a dentist during which he carefully examines the patient, takes x-rays and determines the complexity and duration of treatment.
  • 2nd stage - Anesthesia of the affected area. The medical expert makes a test for the presence / absence of allergic reactions and subject to obtaining negative results, performs local anesthesia of a place that is affected by periodontitis.
  • 3rd stage - Providing access to channels. Using a drill, the doctor removes the old filling and drills a recess in the tooth in order to to get channels. If necessary, the dentist expands the recesses of the canals.
  • 4th stage - Treatment with medicines. Special therapeutic solutions are applied to relieve the inflammatory process.
  • 5th stage - Temporary filling. A filling material is applied on top of the medicines. Further, this procedure is repeated - the dentist installs a chemical solution until the cause of this disease is cured.
  • 6-stage - Installation of a seal. When the disease has passed, the doctor establishes a strong, already a permanent filling on an already cured and healthy tooth.

Remember: all diseases are always easier to prevent! Do not ignore your health - plan your visit to the dentist in advance!
