Advantages for Non-Surgical Approach for the treatment of Gum Disease
-
- The main reason for the non-surgical approach is we are treating the cause – bacterial infection. In surgery we are treating only the symptoms. Periodontal disease is an infectious disease, which is also contagious.
- In surgery you are removing essential supporting gum tissue.
- Roots become sensitive when exposed.
- Roots tend to decay more readily because they are not covered with enamel.
- Teeth may shift due to space formed by missing gum.
- Very unesthetic looking teeth now look longer when gum tissue is removed.
- Surgical procedures and injections are painful, periodontal dressings are very uncomfortable.
