Periodontics in Seattle
If
you have swollen, bleeding gums, you may have periodontal gum disease. And
the sooner we can eliminate this menace in your mouth, the better. Left
untreated, gum disease can cause serious loss of teeth and bone, and it has
recently been linked to heart disease and stroke as well as premature
and low weight in babies.
Fortunately, at Richard Stickney DDS PS we can stop this infection quickly and easily with
therapy. We gently remove infected gum tissue and the bacteria causing the infection.
The process is very high tech and very effective.
Starting in 2009 we are very happy to add the Perio Protect Method to
our list of treatments for periodontal disease. This FDA-cleared medical
device called a perio tray, has a patented seal that holds antimicrobial
medication, hydrogen peroxide, and an antibiotic when needed into the
infected areas killing the bacteria causing the disease. It also offers
a long term home care maintenance program to manage the disease. This
method has proven to be highly effective and has helped many patients
avoid more invasive treatment.
Treating gum disease and bleeding gums is one of the most important things you can do for
yourself and your family. We take it seriously, and so should you.
