At Pearl Dental Clinic, we understand the critical role gums play in your oral health and overall wellbeing. Healthy gums are the foundation of a good smile, yet gum disease remains a widespread issue, often progressing silently until it poses a significant threat to your teeth and gums. Our comprehensive gum disease treatment program is designed to address gum problems at their root and prevent further damage and keeping your smile healthy and strong.
What is Gum Disease Treatment ?
Gum disease treatment encompasses a range of procedures aimed at combating the two main stages of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen gums that bleed easily, can typically be reversed with improved oral hygiene and professional cleanings. If left untreated, gingivitis may advance to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets that become infected, potentially leading to tooth loss and other health issues.
Warning signs to lookout for ?
-
Gums that bleed during or after brushing and flossing.
-
Healthy gums are pink and firm. Redness, swelling, or tenderness are common indicators of gum disease
-
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth.
-
Gums pulling away from the teeth, making the teeth look longer than normal.
-
Advanced gum disease can lead to a loss of support for the teeth.
-
Discomfort or pain when chewing.
-
Teeth becoming more sensitive to hot or cold could.
-
The presence of pus around teeth and gums.
What to expect with gum disease treatment ?
Our treatment process begins with a thorough assessment to diagnose the specific type and severity of gum disease. Based on this evaluation, we may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
-
Professional cleaning and scaling to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
-
Root planing to smooth the root surfaces, discouraging further buildup of tartar and bacteria.
-
Advanced surgical treatments for severe cases, including gum graft surgery, flap surgery, and bone grafting.
Why treat gum disease ?
Ignoring gum disease can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss, and has been linked to broader health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Treatment not only saves your teeth and gums but also restores the aesthetics of your smile and improves your overall health.
