can I reverse periodontial disease without surgery?

Answer 1

You certainly can stop progression , but I don't know about reversing gum retraction and root damage . That might take a big longer .
One important thing to do is to cut back on SWEET foods and drinks . Wash frequently and brush your teeth . Most people with periodontal disease suffer because of the food remains in the mouth and between the teeth , so it's better if you wash after every meal .Also stop SMOKING if you do . Chewing gum is helpful in that it increases SALIVATION which helps WASH the mouth of food remains .

Answer 2

Yes it is possible as long as it hasn't progressed past the point of no return. They have some medication that they inject under the gum line. It reversed my husbands. Now once you have bone loss it will help with this too. It can stop you from losing anymore if you take care of your teeth. The big thing is flossing. People have no idea that it only takes 24 hours for plaque to harden onto you teeth. By flossing you get rid of this so hopefully you will not get this build up. You need to be seeing your dentist every 6 months for a deep cleaning and scaling if you have disease. Floss, use special mouthrinse, quit smoking.

Answer 3

Periodontial disease IS NOT reversable..much like diabetes. First, make sure you understand what periodontial disease is....horizontial and/or vertical bone loss present on x-rays, clinical attachment loss (CAL), periodotial pocketing measuring 5+mm in depth and Bleeding on Probing (BOP). Bleeding is a sign of ACTIVE INFECTION. There are two ways to treat periodontial disease, thus maintaining your helath, and hopefully preventing the disease from progressing. Non-Surgicially or surgicially. Non-surgically involves a scaling and root planning procedure. This is performed by the hygienist in your dental office. He/she will use instruments to go below your gum line (4-6mm) and essentially remove the calculus/tarter (bacteria) build-up, and smooth the root surface in hopes of creating a less suitable environment for the bacteria to stick to. They should at that point, place an anitbiotic (referred to earlier) in the cleansed area. The antibiotic helps kill the bacteria that is present on the gum tissue itself-this helps prevent perio. from spreading! If your periodontial pockets are 7mm or greater, and the teeth are mobile (loose), surgery with a Periodontist is probably necessary. Surgery does not cure the disease. To maintian good oral health, brushing and FLOSSING are critical. FLOSS, FLOSS, FLOSS. Visit your Dentist regularly. If they tell you you need to have a "deep cleaning", insist that they use the anitbiotic under the gum line. You don't want to pay for a deep cleaning and not get the best results-the antibiotic is a must. My husband is living proof that stuff works. He has fewer pockets, and almost no bleeding-which means the infection is gone. No infection, no active "bad" bacteria.

Answer 4

No vasectomy is fail safe, but it does require post-surgical testing for his sperm counts. His doctor should have told you that you guys need to continue to use some sort of alternative birth control for 6-12 months after the vasectomy. He needs to be re-tested and you need to get an HPT to see if you're pregnant.

Answer 5

it depends to its stage. periodontal disease can affect gum or gum and bone. ethiology of periodontal disease is usually tartar. slight periodontal diseases can be cured by scaling, but moderate and severe ones probably need both scaling and surgery. you can not stop progression unless you can improve your hygiene and it is usually impossible, because periodontitis usually leads to increase depth of gingival sulcus called periodontal pocket. deep pockets are not cleansable with regular oral hygiene methods. I recommend you to visit a periodontist.
