Have you been told by your dentist that you need periodontal disease treatment? If so, you will want to come to our periodontal practice, Maryland Center for Periodontics and Dental Implants. At our dental practice you will be able to receive the very best periodontal disease treatment in Pikesville.
At our periodontal practice and dental implant center, our expert and highly trained dentist is Dr. Martin Leybovich. Dr. Leybovich is a board-certified Periodontist, and will be able to provide you with the very best periodontal disease treatment in Pikesville so that your gums and mouth will be healthy once again. It is very important that periodontal disease is treated as it simply will not go away by itself. Additionally, infection from periodontal disease can travel to other parts of your body and cause serious health issues including heart problems, high blood pressure, and even stroke.
At our office, we offer treatment of periodontal disease as well as cosmetic periodontal treatment, to help ensure a beautiful smile. Patients with mild to moderate gum disease will benefit from a periodontal scaling and root planing treatment. This treatment is like a deep cleaning for the gums which will help clear the deep pockets of all plaque, tartar, infection, and bacteria. Removal of these agents should help reduce inflammation in the gum tissue and the surrounding bone. This is a non-surgical procedure that is performed in our office while the patient remains completely comfortable. Patients are able to receive local anesthesia for this treatment. This treatment is also effective for patients who have mild gum inflammation, but have not yet developed gum disease. Scaling and root planing can also be performed as a preventive measure for patients who have been prone to developing gum disease in the past. If the patient has serious infection, we will be able to provide antibiotic treatment to help clear the infection from the patient’s mouth. This is sometimes done in combination with scaling and root planing or even as a stand-alone treatment to reduce bacteria. Antibiotic treatments can be performed using topical gels which are applied directly to the gum pockets, or are taken in oral form.
