How Your Oral Health Affects Your Overall Wellness
When Joanne Maglares, now 50, visited her dentist
for a broken tooth from chewing on ice, she had
no inkling that her overall health was in
jeopardy. A scholarship coordinator at a New York
City high school and mother of four, she was so
consumed with work and family that she often
ignored her own well-being.

Treatment Of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal treatments depend on the type of the
gum disease and how severe it is. If the disease
is caught early (when it is gingivitis), and no
damage has been done to the supporting structures
under the teeth, you may simply need a
professional cleaning. The dental team can give
you tips for improving your daily oral hygiene.
Even with these measures, some patients develop
more severe periodontal disease. The first step
in treating the disease usually involves a
special deep cleaning called scaling and root
planing. In this treatment, the dentist removes
plaque and tartar down to the bottom of each
periodontal pocket. This treatment may be done
over several visits, depending on your needs.
The root surfaces of the teeth are then smoothed
(or planed) to allow the gum tissue to heal and
reattach to the teeth. This treatment also may
take more than one visit.

Heres what you can expect during a typical
dental hygienist appointment
If youve received a diagnosis of periodontal
disease, the good news is that your Wellness
Dental team can treat it. Every patient is
different, however, most patients who are
diagnosed with periodontal disease will first be
prescribed a scaling and root planning procedure,
sometimes called a deep cleaning, which removes
deposits and infection from the tooth roots and
gum tissue.
