Periodontics is the specialty dedicated to the health of your gums and the supporting structures of your teeth. Dr. Moga, a specialist in periodontics, provides comprehensive treatment for gum disease at every stage - from early gingivitis to advanced periodontal disease. Services include periodontal evaluation, subgingival curettage, flap surgery, and advanced bone regeneration with Emdogain to restore lost tissue.
How It Works
Periodontal Assessment - A detailed evaluation of gum health is performed, including probing pocket depths around each tooth, assessing gum recession, and taking targeted X-rays to evaluate bone levels.
Initial Therapy - Non-surgical treatment begins with subgingival curettage (deep cleaning below the gum line) to remove bacteria, calculus, and infected tissue from periodontal pockets.
Re-evaluation - After a healing period of 4-6 weeks, pocket depths and gum health are reassessed to determine if additional intervention is needed.
Advanced Treatment - If pockets persist, surgical options such as flap curettage or bone regeneration with Emdogain may be recommended to restore lost tissue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that I might have periodontal disease?
The most common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and teeth that feel loose or are shifting position. If any of these symptoms are noticed, a periodontal evaluation at Moga DentCare is recommended as early as possible.
Can periodontal disease be cured?
Periodontal disease can be effectively controlled and managed, especially when detected early. Treatment such as deep cleaning can stop the progression of the disease, but ongoing maintenance visits are essential to keep gums healthy long-term.
How often do I need to come back after gum treatment?
After periodontal treatment, maintenance visits are typically recommended every three to four months. These visits include professional cleaning below the gum line and monitoring of pocket depths to ensure the disease remains under control.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
Non-surgical periodontal treatments such as subgingival curettage are performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some gum tenderness for a day or two after treatment is normal and manageable with standard pain relief, and most patients report that the improvement in gum comfort makes the treatment well worth it.
Can I lose my teeth from gum disease?
Yes, untreated periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, as it progressively destroys the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. However, with timely treatment from a periodontics specialist like Dr. Moga at Moga DentCare in Lugoj, the progression can be stopped and in many cases partially reversed through advanced regenerative procedures.
