Gingivitis - Periodontital Disease

Gum Disease Treatment Planning

More Choices: Minimally Invasive versus Traditional Therapy

Different forms of Periodontal disease are reported to have up to a 75% incidence rate in adults. Many adults unknowingly have the beginning stages of these diseases.

Shifting Teeth Periodontitis Most of us, the intelligent adults that we are, may notice the minor symptoms.... but attribute the symptom to something else. Phrases like "I brush too hard"... or "I have been eating too many spicey foods".... are popular adult expressions....

Also known as Periodontitis, it is a frightful term for most of us, which may explain why we all tend to avoid thinking about it or doing something about it. Avoidance behavior in dentistry is normal... very normal for most people.

The following list represents a few of the concerns people have regarding a perio exam or treatment:
  • Fear of surgery
  • Fear of loss of teeth
  • Embarrased about gums already beginning to bleed
  • Unusually foul breath
  • Sensitive/sore teeth
  • Fearful that cleanings will be painful
  • Long appointments
  • Expensive treatments
  • Embarrassment because you hate to floss (very common)
When the symptoms become severe, with gums bleeding and teeth becoming loose, we tend to start paying attention. Unfortunately this level of belated intervention is now at the crisis level, and can cause serious bone, tissue and tooth loss.

Reconstructive and Restorative Dentistry

Many adult patients discover the more mild degrees of gum disease when undergoing routine treatments, including basic cosmetic dentistry. As a safeguard for promoting the best oral health possible, it is commonplace for dentists to recommend the total arrest or cure of any perio disease symptoms.

In our office, patients are assisted in overcoming their infection issues with choices of treatment that are usually selected based on the treatment time required. Traditional therapies tend to achieve the healthy tissue outcome in the shortest amount of time.

Matching Periodontal Treatment with Reconstructive Needs

Non invasive or minimally invasive therapies, which are becoming increasingly popular, tend to require a longer treatment interval. Ideally, gum disease treatment choice can be matched to the degree and type of restorative or reconstructive treatments desired by each patient.

Choices: Convenient Comfortable Treatment

In our office Dr. Marinic provides various types of intervention treatments regardless of the stage of the disease process. Extremely minor symptoms are typically treated non-surgically with some patient education, a professional quality cleaning followed up perhaps with short term use of antibiotic medications.

How it Works

Dr. Marinic will fit you with custom made mouth-pieces (trays), similar to athletic mouthguards. They’re very thin, soft, and comfortable!

A special gel is placed inside of your custom-made trays. This gel seeps above and below the gumline eliminating all calculus (tartar) and bacteria.
