The first step in periodontal care involves a thorough assessment of your oral health. Dr. Corey Truman will examine your gums, teeth, and jawbone to identify any signs of periodontal disease. This assessment may include X-rays and measuring the depth of the pockets around your teeth. Understanding the extent of your periodontal health is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Once the assessment is complete, the next step is a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. This non-surgical treatment involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Dr. Truman will carefully clean the root surfaces to eliminate bacteria and smooth rough spots, helping your gums reattach to your teeth. This step is essential for halting the progression of periodontal disease and promoting gum healing.
After the initial treatment, ongoing maintenance is vital to ensure long-term periodontal health. Dr. Truman will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. These visits will include professional cleanings and personalized oral hygiene instructions to help you maintain healthy gums at home. Consistent care and monitoring are key to preventing the recurrence of periodontal disease and ensuring your gums stay healthy for years to come.
