Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious oral health condition that affects the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other complications. In many cases, antibiotics are used alongside deep cleaning procedures to help reduce harmful bacteria and promote healing. At Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, we offer antibiotic periodontal treatment in Mountain Brook, Alabama, to help manage infection and restore healthy gums.
What Is Antibiotic Periodontal Treatment?
Antibiotic therapy is often used as a supplement to traditional periodontal treatments such as scaling and root planing. These medications help control bacterial infections that contribute to gum inflammation and bone loss. Antibiotics may be applied directly to the gum pockets or prescribed in oral form, depending on the severity and location of the infection.
Benefits of antibiotic periodontal treatment include:
- Targeted elimination of harmful bacteria
- Reduced inflammation and gum pocket depth
- Improved healing and reduced risk of future infection
- Enhanced effectiveness of deep cleanings and other periodontal care
Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine the most appropriate antibiotic solution for your specific needs.
