Oral Disease -
Gingivitis...How Dr. Carmody Can Help
Gingivitis is the most common periodontal disease, affecting 90% of the
population, including our local Rockledge area community. It is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria that form
plaque. In small amounts (when it is newly formed), plaque is invisible and relatively harmless. But when left to accumulate, it increases in volume and the proportion of harmful bacteria grows.
These bacteria release toxins that result in inflammation of the gum tissue. Eventually, the plaque hardens and forms hard deposits called calculus or tartar.
If not properly treated, gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, a periodontal disease in which there is loss of the bone that supports the teeth.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
