So Really, What Are the Benefits of Periodontal Treatment and Surgery?

Periodontal surgery focuses on restoring aesthetics (looks) and function (how they work) to the teeth by the means of deep dental cleaning. And because your healthy mouth produces a healthy smile – they go hand in hand.

For many people in the greater Broward County area, periodontal treatment and surgery can correct problematic issues that they have with their teeth and gums. This often helps to decrease pain or discomfort people are having, and importantly, correct dental issues that could worsen over time if left untreated.

What are 3 Key Benefits to Periodontal Surgery?

1. Deep cleaning – Periodontal surgery provides an intensive clean that helps break down bacteria and restore health to the mouth and gums. This deep clean destroys the pockets of bacteria and helps to prevent further damage.

2. Prevents disease – Periodontal surgery can prevent further disease from occurring. After the deep clean treatment has taken place and the bacterial infection has subsided, this allows for regular oral hygiene to take control of the mouth once again.

3. Restores function – Often, periodontal surgery is able to restore functionality to certain areas of the mouth by strengthening the teeth and gums and restoring health. Severe and uncomfortable pain can often keep parts of the mouth from functioning properly, but periodontal surgery is able to remove the bacteria causing the pain.
