Periodontics
Periodontics Tijuana is the dental specialty focusing exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal, or disease and the placement of dental implants. One of the most common issues a periodontist will treat, periodontal disease, involves inflammation and/or bleeding of the gums. If left untreated, it can result in teeth loosening and even falling out. Doctors may also refer to this as gum disease or periodontitis.
When Is It Necessary to Resort to a Periodontics Tijuana Treatment?
Those periodontal diseases that are not treated in time and form can generate severe damages not only in the appearance of the patient but also in his health. That is why our specialists at Ortho by Elizondo always recommend that when the following symptoms occur, you go immediately for periodontics Tijuana treatment.
- If the gums bleed or there is inflammation in the area at the time of the person’s mouth cleaning, a periodontics Tijuana procedure is necessary, since redness is one of the first symptoms that bacteria are attacking the tissue.
- If you have consistently bad breath, it can be a warning sign of periodontal problems. Bad breath can be generated by the presence of toxins and bacteria that remain deposited in the oral cavity.
- When the person notices that one of his teeth is moving, it is necessary to resort to a periodontics Tijuana treatment.
- In cases of intense discomfort or pain when chewing
- If the person notices sensitivity when eating or drinking hot and cold foods.
- If there is a history of family members who have had periodontal diseases
- When diabetes is present.
- When many foods high in sugar are consumed.
It is important to note that if these symptoms are ignored, the disease can lead to tooth loss. That is why it is necessary to resort to periodontics Tijuana treatment in time so that the expenses are not higher, and the health and appearance of the person do not deteriorate.
What Are Some of the Factors That Lead to Periodontal Diseases?
There are many reasons why periodontal problems may arise, the most common of which are:
- Not going to the dentist frequently
- By genetic factors
- By certain bacteria found in the oral cavity, mainly those that tend to generate more tartar.
- Due to the consumption of tobacco, this substance generates more bacterial plaque, which will be deposited on the teeth and become tartar.
- Bad oral hygiene, this because the bacterial plaque that damages the gums and teeth is not removed
- For other diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis.
All these factors cause the production of tartar that will later damage the oral structures. To combat this problem, it is necessary to resort to periodontics Tijuana procedures.

At Ortho by Elizondo, we mention to our patients that periodontics Tijuana procedures are often uncomfortable, especially when surgery is necessary. To prevent the patient from suffering so much pain, we will resort to the use of anesthesia. In this way, our specialist will be able to work better in the affected area. We always notify our patients that many times after periodontics Tijuana procedures can present sensitivity, but this disappears after two to three weeks. If the pain persists, as well as the sensitivity, particular medication can be prescribed.
