Periodontitis requires a more aggressive treatment using cleaning techniques like scaling and root planing to remove plaque or calculus. We recommend our patients to undergo the treatment for Periodontitis in two or three visits. We use local anaesthesia before we commence the procedure. Your dentist may prescribe a mouth rinse and antibiotics for quicker healing.

FAQs

What is preventive dental care?

Preventive dental care encompasses everything you do to maintain oral health and avoid dental diseases. Activities like brushing, flossing, taking a healthy diet, and having a regular dental checkup comprise preventive dental care.

Why do dentists emphasise the importance of preventive dental care?

Preventive dental care is a smart way to take care of your oral health. It is much easier to make brushing and flossing a daily routine, rather than go for expensive reactive treatment after the onset of oral diseases. Regular dental examinations and dental cleaning also contribute to good oral care.

My teeth are very sensitive. What is the reason?

Pain and tooth sensitivity occurs when your teeth’s enamel is damaged, thus exposing the vulnerable inner layers. If you have mild or severe tooth decay, and other problems like grinding, clenching of the teeth and bite problems, your teeth can become very sensitive to hot and cold food.
