Trends in managing periodontal diseases

• Most periodontal diseases can be managed non-surgically by General Dental Practitioners just like you!
• Amazing results can be achieved without surgery on teeth which were originally thought to be untreatable.
• Supplementing your nonsurgical treatment with anti-inflammatory medication, antiseptics and antibiotics can achieve remarkable results even in patients with advanced periodontal diseases!

Do you really need to extract teeth that have been affected by periodontal diseases?

Why bother with periodontal treatment ?

• Most people would prefer to keep their teeth rather than to have them extracted.
• Although patients have to pay for periodontal treatment and maintenance of their dentition, retaining their teeth actually saves them money and inconvenience in the long-term. Having to have dentures, bridgework, implants etc, is expensive and can be troublesome.
• Periodontally affected teeth can be maintained in function for many years.

Periodontal treatment is easy to do without sophisticated and expensive equipment and techniques.

As most periodontal patients require regular maintenance appointments, a steady long-term income is generated for the practice without the need for any special and expensive equipment.

Periodontal treatment has moved away from surgery to simpler nonsurgical techniques that any enthusiastic General Dental Practitioner can easily manage.
