Soft Tissue Management

Periodontal disease affects 4 out of 5 adults. It is caused by bacterial plaque buildup that attacks the periodontal (gum) tissue, which can destroy the tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. Typical inflammation is observed by tender, red, puffy gums, bleeding, and ultimately loosening of the teeth. Eventually, teeth can be destroyed, be cause they lose the supporting tissue and bone.

The solution is relatively simple. Mechanically remove the early buildup of plaque.

By completing our Soft Tissue Management Program you will, hopefully, accelerate healing of gum tissue. It will also enable you to develop and maintain solid dental hygiene habits. If maintained, you will enjoy fresher breath, healthier gum tissue, stronger bone, and reduced dental bills.

This program combines dental education, dental cleanings as needed, and new preventive homecare techniques, including the use of a revolutionary rotary hygiene device. The Rota-dent was designed specifically to reduce plaque and permit healing of gum tissue while providing an easy, pleasant, and convenient way to clean teeth.

In this program you will have:

• Examination and x-rays as needed
• Periodontal charting and tissue analysis
• Disclosing of plaque deposits
• Removal of calcified plaque and debris
• Demonstration of the Rota-dentin plaque removal
  
• Prophylaxis and F1 treatment as needed
• Implementation of a personalized program for maintaining optimal dental health
