Gingival Irrigation
Gingival Irrigation
Gingival irrigation is a procedure that flushes the gum pockets with an antiseptic solution to remove bacteria, debris, and toxins.
This treatment is usually performed in conjunction with other periodontal therapies, such as scaling and root planing.
By reducing the bacterial load and cleaning out the pockets, gingival irrigation helps to minimize inflammation and supports the healing process.
The Importance of Periodontal Care
Periodontal care is essential for preserving the overall health of your mouth. Untreated gum disease can lead to severe consequences, including tooth loss, bone loss, and increased risk of systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular periodontal care ensures that any signs of gum disease are caught early and treated effectively, helping to maintain the health and longevity of your teeth.
