Can periodontitis be cured?

While periodontitis cannot be completely cured, it can be effectively managed with proper treatment and maintenance. Our periodontists will develop a personalised treatment plan to control the infection, prevent further damage, and preserve oral health.

How long does periodontal treatment usually take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to therapy. Most treatments can be completed within a few appointments, with follow-up visits to monitor your oral health maintenance.

Is periodontal treatment painful?

We prioritise patient comfort during all procedures. Local anaesthesia is used to minimise discomfort during treatment. After the procedure, over-the-counter pain medication can help manage any temporary discomfort.

What are the common signs and symptoms of periodontitis?

Common symptoms include swollen, red, or tender gums, bleeding gums during brushing or eating, bad breath, gum recession, tooth sensitivity, loose teeth, and changes in the fit of dentures.

Understanding Periodontitis: A Silent
Threat to Oral Health

Periodontitis, commonly known as gum disease, is a severe infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontitis is often caused by the build-up of plaque and bacteria and can lead to inflammation, bleeding, and recession of the gums. If left untreated, it can cause severe damage to the jawbone and can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Comprehensive Periodontitis

Treatment in Coventry

At Shiraz Endodontic Practice in Solihull, our periodontists employ advanced techniques to effectively treat periodontitis and restore gum health. Our treatment options include:

Scaling and Root Planing

This non-surgical procedure focuses on deep cleaning the teeth and root surfaces. It involves removing plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line and smoothing the root surfaces to eliminate bacterial toxins. This promotes gum reattachment and reduces pocket depth, allowing the gums to heal.

Antibiotic Therapy

In cases of severe infection or advanced periodontitis, our periodontists may prescribe antibiotics to control bacterial growth and prevent further damage. Antibiotic therapy can be an effective adjunct to scaling and root planing, helping to eliminate harmful bacteria and promote healing.

Gum Surgery

For advanced cases of periodontitis where non-surgical treatments are insufficient, gum surgery may be necessary. Our skilled periodontists can perform various surgical procedures, such as:

Flap Surgery: This procedure involves making an incision in the gum tissue to lift it and gain access to the tooth roots. The roots are thoroughly cleaned, and if necessary, the underlying bone may be reshaped to promote healing and prevent further tissue damage.
Bone Grafting: In cases where bone loss has occurred due to periodontitis, bone grafting may be recommended. This procedure involves placing additional natural or synthetic bone material to stimulate new bone growth and support the teeth.
Soft Tissue Grafting: If the gum tissue has receded significantly, soft tissue grafting can help restore a healthy gum line. Tissue grafts from the patient’s own mouth or synthetic materials are used to cover exposed tooth roots and improve the appearance of the smile.

Preventing Periodontitis: Proactive

Measures for Gum Health

Prevention is crucial in maintaining healthy gums and preventing periodontitis. Our periodontists offer valuable guidance on effective oral hygiene practices and lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of gum disease. These include:

Consistent Oral Hygiene

Regular brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning can help remove plaque and bacteria, preventing gum inflammation.

Regular Dental Check-ups

Routine visits to your general dentist can help detect early signs of gum problems which allows for early treatment which increases the chances of success.

Smoking Cessation

Smoking is a significant risk factor for periodontitis. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk of developing gum disease.

Healthy Diet

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports oral health.

Stress Management

Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to gum infection.

I just want to say thank you for making me feel at ease last Friday during my Re-Root Canal. I can’t actually believe how pain-free it was so thank you for getting me through it.

Zorina Eborall

“I would like to apologise for getting a little emotional when I recently attended your practise. I was so grateful and appreciative for all your efforts and the hard work you carried out. You cannot imagine what it means to me. I would like to wish you and your team a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year. Once again, many thanks and best wishes.”

Stephen Spencer

Overall great experience with Dr. Nida at Shiraz Endodontics. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything clearly. She did a thorough oral examination on my molar, and I felt at ease during the consultation. The practice itself is conveniently located within Solihull, with onsite car park. I highly recommend Dr. Nida to anyone who needs an endodontist in the Midlands.
