Gum Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can range from mild gingivitis to more serious periodontitis. Here are some key points about gum disease and its treatments:
Symptoms of Gum Disease:
Red, swollen gums: Inflammation along the gumline is an early sign.
Bad breath: Bacteria release toxins that irritate the gums and teeth.
Receding gums: Bone breakdown leads to gum separation from the tooth.
Sensitive teeth: Exposed dentin causes sensitivity to cold water and air.
Wiggly or shifting teeth: Gum disease can loosen teeth.
Treatments for Gum Disease:
Nonsurgical options:
Scaling and root planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar.
Antibiotics: Used to control bacterial growth.
Surgical options:
Pocket reduction surgery: Restores supportive tissues.
Guided tissue regeneration: Promotes tissue regrowth.
Routine dental visits help detect early signs of gum disease
Remember to maintain good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, to help you protect your gums from gum problems.
