What is Gum Disease?
Periodontitis, or ‘gum disease’ is top among the most common dental diseases in the world and is the main cause of tooth loss in adults. It’s mainly caused by bacteria ridden plaque that forms inside the mouth and builds-up on the teeth. If this plaque isn’t removed regularly, it hardens on the teeth, known as tartar and is impossible to remove by brushing alone meaning that gum disease treatment is needed.
Signs & Symptoms of gum disease
Gum disease, in general, is painless so you may not even be aware that you have it. This is why it’s so important to visit our MyHM Dentist for routine appointments. You may benefit from gum disease treatment if you any of the following symptoms:
● Bleeding gums when brushing your teeth
● Red, swollen or tender gums
● Persistent bad breath
● Discharge or pus around your gums
● Receding gums
What does gum disease treatment involve?
If gum disease is left untreated over a number of years, eventually the bone supporting the teeth will be lost, which results in tooth loss. When the disease is left to progress, it becomes harder to treat, that’s why our Kellyville based dental clinic focuses on early diagnosis and treatment to stop problems before they escalate.
Our team will work with you to help prevent or stop gum disease in its tracks by thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums which involves getting to those hard-to-reach areas and providing a professional deep clean. This removes any harmful plaque or food deposits that if left, can cause gum disease. We will also advise you on the best way to clean your teeth by showing you how to reach those pesky in-between surfaces with floss or interdental brushes.
Prevention is always better than cure, that’s why identifying signs of gum inflammation early enables our experienced team to address the problem swiftly with our periodontal services like gum disease treatment.
