Top Dental Symptoms: Toothache

If your mouth or jaw hurt, it could be from a toothache. Toothaches usually indicate a cavity but they can also signal gum disease. In some cases, a toothache is a sign of an abscess or impacted tooth. A toothache should be evaluated by a dentist right away to determine the cause of the problem and prevent the tooth from dying.

Gum Disease Treatment Ypsilanti MI

We Can Alleviate Symptoms of Gum Disease

Gum Disease Treatment Dentist Ypsilanti MIChronic bad breath, bleeding, or receding gums are often symptoms of periodontal (gum) disease. It has been estimated by the American Dental Association that 90% of all adults have some level of development of gum disease. The usual treatments for this condition range from deep cleaning and scaling to surgery. We are pleased to offer a minimally invasive technique that is very gentle but effective in eliminating the bacteria that causes the problems. It’s called Perio Protect™ and often eliminates the need for any surgery.

Here’s how it works:

Special trays are made for each patient’s upper and lower dental arches. This is similar to the trays made for whitening teeth. The trays are filled with time-released antimicrobial medication that is absorbed into the gums and that works by removing the harmful film of bacteria from teeth and root surfaces.

As this treatment is most effective, it is the winning ticket to quickly and painlessly fight this harmful disease. In just a few days, you will begin to see results and be happy with what you see. Please set up an appointment to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this method.
