Soft (GUM) Tissue Mgt

What is Soft Tissue Management?
It is an individualized plan to eliminate infection of the gums and root surfaces.  Remember periodontal disease is an infectious and inflammatory disease that results from bacteria collecting on the tooth surface above and below the gum line which destroys gum tissues and bone.

Gum disease has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, diabetic complications and low birth weight in babies. Gum disease is very common but treatable. Family Dentistry of Novi treats and prevents gum disease with a Soft Tissue Management System.

The Soft Tissue Management System provided by Family Dentistry of Novi revolves around the Rota-dent toothbrush. Like a professional dental tool, this unique toothbrush is key to fighting gum disease.

The Rota-dent® toothbrush has patented microfilament brush tips designed to reach underneath the gum line and in-between the teeth. In fact, in just one minute, the Rota-dent can reduce 92% of the plaque on your teeth.

Plaque is a major cause of tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque is a sticky, colorless film containing harmful bacteria that constantly forms on teeth and gums. The accumulation of plaque on teeth can lead to gingivitis (gum inflammation) or other conditions such as periodontitis (gum and bone disease).

Because of the Rota-dent's unique design, we can personalize your hygiene needs. The Rota-dent is capable of cleaning areas that are difficult or impossible for conventional and other power assisted brushes. The Rota-dent provides a choice of 3 different brush tips we can prescribe.

The Rota-dent toothbrush is not available through retail outlets. Family Dentistry of Novi can provide you with this advanced toothbrush.
