Soft tissue management helps to fix problems with gum disease. Early gum disease is called Gingivitis and is reversible with thorough and proper oral care. Comprehensive oral care should include brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least daily. Gingivitis is caused by a build-up of plaque, which is why it is essential to have regular dental visits and dental hygiene cleanings. If gingivitis goes without treatment, it turns into a condition called Periodontitis. This condition destroys your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. This is permanent damage and cannot be reversed without dental surgery. The leading cause of adult tooth loss is due to Periodontal disease.<\/p>\n
75% of adults are affected by periodontal disease at some point in their life. Periodontal disease affects more than just your mouth. Clinical evidence indicates that the bacteria which causes periodontal disease is also associated with other health issues such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.<\/p>\n
In the starting stage, periodontal disease causes little or no pain. This means that the signs and symptoms such as puffy gums and bleeding may not be noticed. If you do not have thorough removal of the plaque through a dental hygiene cleaning, the disease will continue to grow and cause more damage. Periodontal disease left untreated may result in extensive bone destruction and possible tooth loss. It is essential to detect and treat perdiodontal disease with proper home oral care to manage the disease.<\/p>\n
Soft tissue management is a structured and organized system that helps in the early detection, and non-surgical treatment of the starting phase of periodontal disease. Soft Tissue Management or STM also helps to maintain your oral health. STM also helps in early detection of changes to the mouth’s tissues as they are related to oral cancer. A dental hygienist and dentist perform the STM treatment. The goal of the procedure is to reduce infection and inflammation. It also teaches and makes recommendations specifically for you, so that you can maintain your oral health at home.<\/p>\n
