When you injure your gums, or notice a tooth is loose or lost, these are emergency periodontal situations that need attention right away. Which is why we offer emergency dental care! Our team of talented periodontic experts in Geneva and Fairport, NY, can offer emergency periodontal care on short notice.
Common Emergencies
Emergency periodontal issues require immediate attention, and as we touched on above, could include issues related to the loosening of the teeth. As the disease reaches the periodontitis stage, this severs the tissues connecting your teeth and gums, and could weaken underlying bone structure. Teeth become loose and eventually; you could suffer from tooth loss. If you notice significant bleeding or recession, again consider an appointment so we can examine your smile and find a way to address these concerns and protect your overall oral health at the same time.
Examining Your Smile
When you begin to exhibit issues with the health of your gums, contact our office right away. We will then contact you and arrange a time to see you soon, and we can offer care at both our Geneva and Fairport locations.
Our team will measure the depth of your periodontal pockets and also look carefully at the surrounding tissues and structures. We want to assess the cause and severity of your periodontal disease, so we can plan treatment. Our team can plan immediate procedures to address the situation at hand, but we can also create plans for long-term management of the disease, so you avoid panful symptom and the risk of losing your teeth. From deep cleanings to laser treatment, and even gum grafting, we can help improve the health, beauty, and function of your smile, keeping it intact and managing your oral health concerns.
Possible Treatment Options
For some, we could offer treatment to halt the progression of the disease and make it manageable, so we can remove diseased tissues and reshape the gum line. This helps keep your smile intact. However, if the teeth have become too loose, we may need to extract them. We then manage the disease so that our team can move forward with prosthodontic care to replace your missing teeth and keep your smile whole. If you have any questions about our approach to emergency periodontal care, or if you have symptoms that need attention, then please contact our team right away to learn more. We want to help preserve and protect your smile with our periodontal treatments!
