Periodontal Treatments
Periodontics is the specialty that involves the proper maintenance of the bone and gums that surround the teeth. Our staff at Gil Dental Clinics are specialists in this type of treatment.
Our teeth play an essential role in our lives. Research indicates inadequate oral health and gum problems may influence the severity of numerous other conditions within the body. Sufferers of poor oral health have a greater risk of developing: Heart Disease, Respiratory Disease, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke. Therefore, it may be said that good overall health may just begin in the mouth with our teeth.
The gums are the basis to proper care of our teeth. If our gums are affected or sick, bone loss can occur. This can result in teeth needing to be extracted or can produce dental sensitivity, leaving the roots to our teeth exposed.
This is why regular visits to our clinic for frequent cleanings are necessary to prevent any damage to your gums and assure that we are able to keep your mouth in perfect condition. Infection control and sterilization are a primary concern in at our clinic. We take this aspect of our practice very seriously and use ADA approved guidelines for barrier techniques (gloves, masks, gowns), surface decontamination and water line disinfection. All instruments are autoclave cleaned (steam heat sterilized) and our sterilizer is checked regularly for effectiveness as well.
Our trained professionals are ready to teach you about proper care of your gums. Periodontics is a specialty that will repair any damage to your bones and gums.
