Dr. Leonard Tibbetts Encourages Patients Suffering with Gum Disease in Arlington, TX to Experience the Benefits of Microsurgery Treatment
Arlington, TX (PRWEB) July 14, 2015 -- Dr. Leonard Tibbetts of Arlington Periodontics is now pleased to accept new patients who are in need of periodontal pocket reduction microsurgery, for treatment of their gum disease in Arlington, TX. Patients who are experiencing bleeding gums and other signs of periodontal disease may benefit from undergoing the procedure, which provides a more thorough cleaning than traditional scaling and root planning.
Gum disease has reached epidemic levels in the U.S. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that as many as half of Americans suffer from periodontal disease each year. Unfortunately, most of them are unaware that they even carry the disease. For a large number of patients, bleeding gums is the first sign that they have a problem. A large number of people are also unaware of the extreme dangers of gum disease. Many studies have connected periodontal disease with other serious medical conditions, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and premature birth. Although the disease is easy to prevent, it requires prompt and thorough treatment to permanently remedy the issue.
Dr. Tibbetts recommends that his patients with gum disease in Arlington, TX, undergo microsurgery for periodontal pocket reduction. This procedure is designed to rid the mouth of places where bacteria can accumulate, therefore causing damage to the structures of the teeth and jaw. When they undergo the treatment, patients are placed under local anesthesia and Dr. Tibbetts uses high magnification to see exactly where the problem spots lay dormant. He then eradicates any infection in his findings and cleans the roots. The result is shallow pockets and roots that are free from calculus.
While patients may not think their bleeding gums are much of an issue, they should see a periodontist immediately for an assessment of their oral health. Without taking proper steps to halt their periodontal disease, they may lose their teeth and suffer constant health problems in connection with their condition. Patients with gum disease in Arlington, TX, can schedule an appointment with the doctor by calling his office. Additionally, those who would like to learn more about periodontal pocket reduction microsurgery can visit the doctor’s website for more information.
