Gum Treatment

BOOK ONLINE

Gum disease is caused by plaque on your teeth and beneath the gums. When the bacteria in your mouth combines with saliva and food particles, the result is sticky plaque that clings to the teeth, particularly around the gum line. If plaque is not removed, it will cause gums to become red and swollen (signs of inflammation), possibly also resulting in tooth decay and further irritating gums. 

Treatment for gum disease known as periodontal disease or gingivitis can include non-surgical and surgical treatment options. Gingivitis can be treated fairly simply. A good place to start is with a professional cleaning and consultation with your dentist.

What are the common signs of gum disease?

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose or shifting teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek professional dental care promptly.

Can gum disease be reversed?

In its early stages, gum disease, also known as gingivitis, can often be reversed with proper oral hygiene practices and professional dental cleanings. However, if left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that may require more intensive treatment to manage and control.

What treatments are available for gum disease?

Treatment options for gum disease include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and, in severe cases, surgical interventions like gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery. 

Your dentist will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable treatment to restore gum health effectively.
