NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Oct. 11, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Farshid Ariz, DMD, Northridge dentist, is pleased to announce a new special for patients: a free periodontal evaluation. Having a periodontal evaluation can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease and all the inherent problems associated with periodontitis and gingivitis.
Periodontal disease is one of the most common preventable diseases in the world. Dr. Ariz, Northridge dentist, specializes in the identification and treatment of gum disease, and the prevention of periodontal-related tooth loss.
The first line of defense in treating gum disease is always good oral hygiene, practiced on a regular basis at home. Avoiding sugary snacks, brushing regularly, using dental floss, and being punctual about checkups are all steps in the prevention of gum disease. However, sometimes brushing and flossing are not enough to prevent gingivitis. Any bleeding of the gums or redness around the teeth should be considered a matter of concern. Gum recession may follow, and lead to loss of teeth or extreme decay.
Dr. Ariz, Dentist Northridge
Scaling and root planing is one option for more advanced gum disease. Dr. Ariz can perform a scaling, which cleans the teeth deep into the gum line to remove buried plaque, and a root planing, which cleans bacteria all the way into the root of the tooth. This treatment will help to halt the advance of gum disease.
If gum disease has progressed to the point that restorative dentistry treatments are needed, Dr. Shahdad Arami, DDS, can provide them.
