Understanding Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is an infection of the gums and supporting tissues that hold your teeth in place. It’s primarily caused by plaque buildup, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
Stages of Gum Disease
- Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
- Periodontitis: As the infection progresses, it can damage the tissues and bone supporting your teeth, leading to deeper pockets between teeth and gums, and eventually tooth loss.
Our Treatment Approach
Our personalized treatment approach to gum disease depends on the severity of your condition. We offer a range of non-surgical and surgical options to effectively manage gum disease and restore your oral health.
Non-Surgical Treatments
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, smoothing the root surfaces to promote gum reattachment.
- Antibiotic Therapy: Antibiotics may be used to control infection and promote healing.
Surgical Treatments
- Flap Surgery: For more advanced cases, flap surgery may be necessary to access and clean deeper pockets and repair damaged tissues.
- Bone Grafting: If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting can help regenerate lost bone and provide better support for your teeth.
- Gum Grafting: Gum grafting can help restore gum tissue that has receded, improving the aesthetics of your smile and protecting your teeth roots.
Benefits of Early Treatment
Early detection and treatment of gum disease are crucial for preventing further damage and preserving your oral health. Benefits of early treatment include:
Preventing Tooth Loss
Treating gum disease early can help save your teeth and avoid the need for extractions.
Improving Oral Health
Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health and can reduce your risk of other dental problems.
Enhancing Your Smile
Treating gum disease can improve the appearance of your smile by reducing gum recession and inflammation.
Protecting Overall Health
Studies have linked gum disease to various systemic health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can help improve your overall health.
