Periodontal Treatment Sequence

v13

For the periodontal treatment sequence, if it’s just gingivitis we can just do a minor treatment.

So what happens is the first thing that we will check is your remedy, if you have any emergency, if there is any pain or discomfort that needs to be treated immediately, and when that has been settled, we will move into the non-surgical phase.

So once we have done the non-surgical phase, we will a couple of weeks around 6 weeks, and we will check again everything is okay, the patient just has gingiva in all her teeth, and now everything is healthy we just keep it as a maintenance phase.

Now if the treatment for the problem that you have was to advance, well it will have to go through our surgical phase.

So you can have your periodontal back around your teeth, or sometimes maybe the destruction was in another area of dentistry, which is so you will go to the restorative phase.
