Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common dental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. This condition occurs when bacteria build up on the teeth and gums, causing inflammation and infection. At Golden Promise Dental, we understand the importance of preventing and treating periodontal disease to maintain good oral health and overall wellness.

Here are some key things to know about periodontal disease:

Symptoms: Periodontal disease often starts with mild symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum sensitivity. As the disease progresses, symptoms can become more severe, including receding gums, tooth loss, and bone damage.

Causes: Poor oral hygiene, genetics, smoking, and certain health conditions can increase the risk of developing periodontal disease. In some cases, hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause can also contribute to the condition.

Treatment: Treatment for periodontal disease depends on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, regular dental cleanings and improved oral hygiene can be effective. In more severe cases, scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and surgery may be necessary.

There are many different machines that can be used to treat periodontitis, and the type of machine that you use will depend on the severity of your condition. If you have mild periodontitis, then a dental handpiece manufacturer may recommend using a water pick or an electric toothbrush to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. If you have moderate to severe periodontitis, then you may need to use a more powerful machine, such as an ultrasonic scaler, to remove the tartar from your teeth.

If you're looking for a machine to help treat your periodontitis, you may want to consider talking to a dental handpiece manufacturer.  Golden Promise Dental specialize in making devices that can remove plaque and tartar from teeth, as well as massage gums and promote blood circulation. Many of these machines are designed specifically for people with periodontitis, so they may be able to provide you with exactly what you need.
