What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It can range from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to severe damage that affects the gums and bone supporting your teeth (periodontitis).
Signs of Gum Disease:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Bad breath or bad taste in your mouth
- Gums receding or teeth appearing longer
- Deep pockets between teeth and gums
- Loose or shifting teeth
Gum Therapy Services:
- Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, allowing the gums to reattach to the teeth.
- Periodontal Maintenance: Regular check-ups to monitor and maintain gum health.
- Antibiotic Therapy: Prescribed to eliminate infection-causing bacteria.
- Laser Treatment: Used to remove diseased tissue and promote healing with minimal discomfort.
- Flap Surgery: For advanced gum disease, this procedure removes tartar buildup and reattaches the gums.
The Gum Therapy Process:
- Consultation: We examine your gums, take X-rays, and measure the depth of pockets around your teeth.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the exam, we create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Treatment: Depending on your condition, treatment may include deep cleaning or surgical procedures.
- Follow-Up: Regular visits to monitor progress and help maintain good oral hygiene at home.
Benefits of Gum Therapy:
- Prevent Tooth Loss: Treatment helps stop gum disease and saves your natural teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Healthy gums lead to overall better oral health and less risk of other problems.
- Better Appearance: Treating gum disease can make your gums and teeth look healthier.
- Overall Health: Good gum health reduces the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
