| Treatment of periodontal disease | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Periodontal disease is a chronic disease, so treatment will be long-term. In order to maintain healthy teeth, 1) the patient's daily steady brushing, 2) regular examinations at the dentist's office, 3) tartar removal (scaling), 4) professional tooth surface stains. Cleaning (PMTC) is important. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1) Inspection of gingival condition Inspect the color tone and swelling of the gingiva, the depth of the groove (periodontal pocket) between the tooth and the gingiva, the presence or absence of bleeding, and the presence or absence of tartar. |
2) Inspection of tooth condition Inspect the number of teeth, the presence or absence of tooth decay, the status of past treatment, tooth occlusion, the degree of tooth mobility, and whether there is bruxism. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3) Inspection by X-ray (X-ray) photograph If necessary, take an X-ray. X-rays show the condition of the bones that support the teeth (alveolar bone), which cannot be seen with the naked eye. |
4) Removal of tartar (scaling) Remove tartar with a specialized dental instrument. If periodontal disease is significantly advanced, partial anesthesia may be used to gently remove tartar behind the gingival sulcus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5) Removal of plaque and guidance on brushing teeth We will stain the surface of the teeth such as unpolished food residue and plaque, and give brushing instructions. Also, carefully remove dirt (PMTC). |
6) End of treatment It is assumed that the condition of periodontal disease has calmed down and the gums have stabilized due to the professional cleaning at the dental clinic and the guidance of brushing teeth at home. However, periodontal disease is a disease that tends to recur. Even after the treatment is completed, the period varies depending on the symptoms, but we recommend regular examinations every one month to six months. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Insurance points and fee calculation for the above treatments Periodontal disease is treated little by little, so it takes a lot of times. The initial treatment lasts about a month. The calculation depends on the number of teeth. (The table below shows the case where all the teeth are left and the treatment is done as a whole)
