Comprehensive Approach to Periodontal Disease Treatment at Tomo Dental Clinic

Features of Periodontal Disease Treatment at Tomo Dental Clinic

At our clinic, we perform real-time observations of bacteria in the oral cavity using a phase contrast microscope as part of our periodontal disease treatment. A phase contrast microscope allows for the observation of microscopic objects that cannot be seen with a normal microscope, enabling us to accurately identify and quantify the bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Based on these observations, we provide appropriate treatment methods.

In addition, we understand that infections caused by periodontal bacteria are closely related to overall health. Thus, in treating periodontal disease, we also consider the patient’s overall health. As periodontal disease progresses, it can trigger systemic inflammatory responses and potentially increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. At our clinic, we not only provide periodontal disease treatment but also offer nutritional guidance and stress management to comprehensively support the overall health of our patients.

[Detailed Information on Periodontal Disease]

Periodontal disease is a condition that causes inflammation in the gums and surrounding tissues, leading to the destruction of the bones and periodontal ligaments that support the teeth. Periodontal disease is caused by an infection from periodontal bacteria. If dental plaque and tartar accumulate over a long period, periodontal bacteria can proliferate and cause inflammation. Early symptoms of periodontal disease include swollen and bleeding gums, bad breath, and a loose tooth sensation. As periodontal disease progresses, the gums can swell, and pockets can form between the teeth and gums. These pockets can harbor a large amount of periodontal bacteria, further promoting the progression of periodontal disease. As the disease advances, the gums and bone may be destroyed, which can lead to tooth loss.

At our clinic, we offer accurate diagnoses through bacterial observation using a phase contrast microscope, and appropriate treatments tailored to the patient’s oral environment. We also provide advice on improving oral conditions and oral care to our patients, with an emphasis on preventing periodontal disease. If you suspect you may have periodontal disease, please consult with our clinic at your earliest convenience.
