Why Is It Important to Get Immediate Treatment for Periodontal Diseases?

by Dr. E. Jan Chithalen Dr. E. Jan Chithalen Dentistry

One of the most common teeth problems includes Gingivitis which affects mostly all of us. However, the most serious consequence of gingivitis is called periodontitis, which is probably the largest cause of teeth loss in people around the world. While in gingivitis, it is the gums that are affecting by the bacteria present in the dental plaque, in the case of periodontitis, the disease reaches even deeper and affects the pulp cavity embedded deep within the teeth. Unless this problem is taken care of and the infection removed, it can reach deeper still and cause harm to the bone structure of our jaw.

The procedure of care for periodontics Hamilton, Ontario, involves 3 stages during which the doctor first finds the extent of the damage and then goes on to insert the implant screw inside the gums and preparing the region for the dental crown that would be placed upon the implant screw. Many people assume that the procedure would be extremely painful, but it is hardly the case since the patient is given local anesthesia before the procedure is performed. Also the entire procedure is completed in stages and there are several sittings involved in the tooth repair.

It is important to get the necessary treatment when you have been diagnosed with periodontitis as, in its advanced stages, this can lead to loss of teeth and damage to the bone structure. There have been many studies that relate advanced periodontitis to strokes, heart diseases as well as complications in pregnancy in case of women. Many researchers also link peridontitis to pneumonia due to the inhalation of the germs through the mouth. If you have been suffering from periodontal diseases, it is necessary that you get immediate care in order to avoid any serious consequence.

If you are looking for a periodontist in Hamilton, ON, you need to remember that you need to look for someone who is experienced in treating periodontal disease and will be able to help you with the procedure. Before you get the treatment, always ask questions if you have any queries and only when you are sure, go for the treatment procedure under the expert guidance of your chosen periodontist. Some of the important points to keep in mind for the after-care include avoiding hard food items and getting a post-natal check-up after a few weeks to make sure that the treatment was successful.
