Advanced gum disease treatment
is often painful and expensive because serious problems arise when the
harmful bacteria spread below your gum line. One common result is the
formation of pockets in between your gums and teeth. These pockets form
and necessitate advanced periodontal gum disease treatment because the
toxins produced by the infection actually dissolve both gum and bone
tissue. After the pocket has formed, it creates a perfect breeding
ground for anaerobic bacteria and the condition quickly degenerates if
left untreated. In a pocket reduction procedure, the advanced gum
disease is treated by: tartar is cleaned from below gum line, root is
planed if severely damaged (gums cannot reattach to uneven surface) and
bacteria killed with antimicrobial treatment.
