What Is Soft Tissue Treatment?
Your mouth is mostly made of soft tissues like your gums and the skin that lines the roof and sides of your mouths. These tissues play an extremely important role in protecting the teeth and fighting infections and cavities. Conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, and receding gums affect the soft tissues, and so they affect your entire mouth’s health.
In some cases, these conditions can compound so that standard plaque-cleaning treatments will no longer be sufficient. In these cases, soft tissue treatment may be necessary to address the issue.
First, the dentist removes as much accumulated plaque as possible, allowing access to pockets in the teeth where plaque has gathered. Your dentist will then thoroughly clean the pockets and clean the area near the root of the tooth. The dentist may also smooth and polish near the root of the tooth, which prevents further plaque build-up in the future. Lastly, the dentist will clean and polish your teeth like normal.
Soft-tissue treatments are extensive and often require multiple visits. If you require soft tissue treatment, we recommend visiting our office every 3-4 months instead of 6 months like normal.
Damaged tissues in the mouth can negatively affect the entire body. So it is in your best interest to take proactive steps to fight soft tissue disease. If you need soft tissue treatment near you in Thomaston, Great Neck, NY, then give Great Neck Dental Associates a call today.
