Why do you need periodontal treatment before dentures?

There are many patients who do not understand the doctor’s treatment plan very much, and sometimes feel very annoying. There are so many troubles caused by having a tooth inserted. How can it not be so troublesome in a small clinic! The interpretation of this question can be considered from two aspects.​​
First, let’s take a look at what it takes to restore a missing tooth. First, the adjacent teeth are not loose or slightly loose; second, the gums are healthy with no redness and swelling; and third, the teeth are clean and free of calculus. These last two points are the guarantee of a clear tooth model. Only by obtaining a clear and accurate tooth model can the dentures made in the future be able to fit closely with the original teeth and oral mucosa and be comfortable to use. If the gums are red and swollen and there is a lot of calculus on the teeth, the dentures that were set up under the unstable surrounding conditions may not be able to be worn in the future due to the swelling of the gums!​​
Secondly, we should attach great importance to the harm of periodontitis. Many people feel that it is incredible that their teeth fall out without being damaged. This is actually caused by periodontitis. The number of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity of patients with periodontitis greatly increases, resulting in red and swollen gums, resorption of alveolar bone, serious damage to the foundation on which the teeth depend, loosening of the teeth, and finally falling off. In the early stage of periodontitis, there is no obvious discomfort, and many people are found by doctors when they have dental implants and teeth straightened. In order to allow patients to retain more teeth and achieve better restoration results, doctors will recommend periodontal treatment to patients. Through systematic periodontal treatment, the redness and swelling of the gums will subside significantly, and the looseness of the teeth will also be improved. The patient feels that the oral cavity is fresh and relaxed. After about one month to six weeks, the periodontal condition is stable, and the patient can have dental implants. .
