A New Approach to Periodontal Disease Treatment

Periodontal disease treatment and prevention are vital for overall health. In recent years, researchers have linked it to serious health conditions ranging from diabetes to heart disease. As ongoing research continues to unveil new findings on a regular basis, it is evident periodontal disease likely poses even more health risks than we currently realize.

Advanced technology has provided us with many tools, such as lasers and saliva screening, for treating periodontal disease in the dental office. However, the importance of treating it from within the body is often overlooked.

A simplified look at periodontal disease would lead one to believe it is a localized problem. Bacteria are present, even in a healthy mouth. Poor oral hygiene, and the formation of plaque and tartar, provides the ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. The infection spreads to gum tissues, periodontal tissues, and begins eroding the bone. It stands to reason that treatment at the source – killing bacteria and removing or sterilizing infected tissue – would be the solution.

Common treatments for this condition are highly effective, and very necessary to get the problem under control. However, one of the best weapons in the fight against periodontal disease remains largely unutilized – the body’s natural defenses. Two patients with similar oral hygiene habits may react very differently to bacterial accumulation.

In some cases, diet, nutrition, and other health conditions may be responsible for the greater, or lesser, immunity of certain individuals. It may seem impossible, or at least beyond the scope of dental care, to increase a person’s natural ability to fight periodontal disease, but this is not necessarily the case.
