Sometimes it is necessary to extract a tooth. Extractions are commonly performed in cases where a baby tooth is reluctant to fall out, a severely broken down tooth is present, or wisdom tooth is poorly positioned & unable to fully erupt into place. Click: https://t.co/8a69x1IoaH

Though the gums will be more sensitive immediately following the procedure, there will be a significant reduction in pocket depth and a vast improvement in the condition of the teeth and gums. Visit: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #CherryHill

Antibiotic may be placed in the surgical site. The gum tissue will then be sutured back into place eliminating the pocket. In many cases a protective packing may be placed to keep the area clean and to facilitate faster healing. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSYpF #gums

An incision will be made to allow us to gently pull the gum tissue away from the teeth. All calculus and plaque will be meticulously removed and all root surfaces will be smoothed. Visit here: https://t.co/zvUtDLSYpF #dentist #gums

While a surgical procedure, periodontal surgery is generally very well tolerated by patients and in most cases can be performed under local anesthesia. Click here: https://t.co/zvUtDLSYpF #Periodontalconsultants

The goal of all periodontal surgical procedures is to eliminate the pocket and to allow the patient to keep the gums and teeth clean using proper brushing and flossing techniques. For more info: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #periodontal

If the pockets are not adequately cleaned and debrided, they will continue to deepen and more bone will be destroyed. This destructive cycle will continue and will eventually lead to tooth loss. Visit: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #gumdisease

[Periodontal Consultants @PerioConsult]

As bone is destroyed by the bacteria that is found on plaque and calculus, pockets form between the teeth and gums. As the pockets become deeper, it is almost impossible to clean the bottom of the pockets using toothbrushing and flossing techniques. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7

[Periodontal Consultants @PerioConsult]

Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria which infect the periodontal lining of the gum. If not removed, this bacterial growth will spread and will begin to destroy the bone that supports the teeth. Click here: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #periodontaldisease

Arestin: This antibiotic, which is delivered right into the gingival sulcus (pocket within the gum) has proven very effective in slowing the disease process and inhibiting bacterial growth. Click here: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #oralhealth

Metronidazole: This antibiotic is generally used in combination with amoxicillin or tetracycline to combat inflammation and bacterial growth in severe or chronic periodontitis. For more info: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #dental

Macrolide antibiotics: Known for their effectiveness in reducing gingival inflammation, this family of antibiotic is often used for patients suffering from periodontitis. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #oralhealth

[Periodontal Consultants @PerioConsult]

Tetracycline antibiotics: The tetracycline family of antibiotics, which include tetracycline hydrochloride, doxycycline, and minocycline are generally thought of as the primary drugs used in periodontal treatment. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7

Systemic antibiotics can be prescribed at a low dose for long term periodontal use, or as a short term medication to treat acute periodontal infections. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #Philadelphia

Over the past several years, direct application of antibiotic into the periodontal pocket has proven to be very effective in halting the disease process if done in combination with other periodontal procedures. For more info: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #oralhealth

One of the most effective ways to kill bacteria is to introduce antibiotics. These antibiotics may be prescribed orally, in pill form, or may be applied locally directly to the areas of the mouth that are periodontally infected. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #dentist

[Periodontal Consultants @PerioConsult]

Periodontal disease is caused by bacterial growth. This bacteria breaks down the periodontal lining of the gum and as the disease progresses, bacteria will begin to break down the supporting tooth structure which surrounds the teeth. Click: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7

After scaling and root planing procedures eliminate the causative factors, the remaining pockets may be treated with antibiotics. For more info: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #gumdisease #dentistry #CherryHill

Smooth root surfaces help prevent the buildup of the agents which cause periodontal disease. For more info: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #oralgealth #periodontal #healthysmile

After all the plaque and calculus are scaled away, root planing may be undertaken using hand instruments to smooth the root surfaces of the tooth. Visit here for more: https://t.co/zvUtDLSqA7 #dentist
