Manually removing the plaque and tarter from the root surfaces of your teeth below the gum line.
Antibiotics:
Because bacteria cause periodontitis antibiotics may
be prescribed as pills or as an Antibiotic fiber.
The fibers are used in conjunction with scaling and
root planing. They are placed directly into the
pockets and are removed within 7-10 days later.
Antibacterial mouth rinses may also be recommended
to help plaque control.
Bite correction:
An imbalanced bite may accelerate bone destruction.
Your teeth may be adjusted for proper and better
function. A Bite-guard (removable retainer fitting
over teeth) may be required to protect teeth
surfaces and relax tense muscles.
Splinting:
This technique attaches weak teeth together,
combining them into a stronger single unit, making
them more stable and offering more comfortable
chewing.
