The treatment is most often organized around these main axes:
Learning a strict oral hygiene. The patient must know how to carefully eliminate all dental plaque daily, cleaning the small hard-to-reach spaces with interdental brushes or other brushing accessories.
The overall treatment of the patient. The patient must restore non-harmful lifestyle habits, leading their body into a healing phase. Dietary changes and combating stress and anxiety are frequent corrections made.
The initial treatment consists of eliminating the responsible factors (bacteria contained in dental plaque) or aggravating factors (tartar, retention areas, occlusal force, etc.) to sanitize the area and allow for secure sealing of the gums again. Sessions of ultrasound scaling, laser sterilization, teeth polishing, stabilization of loose teeth, treatment of cavities, and redistribution of occlusal forces.
Finally, the results obtained must be maintained over time because periodontal disease can resume its progression if cleaning conditions are not strictly followed or if the patient's defenses are weakened.
This periodontal maintenance will be carried out according to the specifics of each patient and their individual risk in both local (dental) and general (micronutrition) terms.
Dr. Kurdyk's experience in this field will allow you to regain a healthy, comfortable mouth and keep your teeth, which are so precious!
The oral cavity contains a very diverse bacterial flora of over 700 different strains. The existence and maintenance of a balance between them represents the foundation of oral and intestinal health.
An imbalance caused, for example, by insufficient oral hygiene or harmful habits, promotes the proliferation of pathogenic germs that can cause periodontal disease.
This proliferation can also spread to the digestive tract, the respiratory tract, and lead to systemic consequences. It is therefore essential to precisely determine the pathogenic bacteria to target the treatment of periodontitis.
Dr. Kurdyk performs simple identification tests that are easy to implement and reliable in their results, ensured by a specialized laboratory.
