What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health condition that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It is caused by bacteria and plaque buildup, leading to inflammation, infection, and eventual damage to the gums and bone. If left untreated, gum disease can result in tooth loss and have negative impacts on your overall health.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of gum disease is crucial in its early detection and treatment. Look out for the following indications:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
- Receding gums or a noticeable change in your bite
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Formation of pockets between the teeth and gums
- Changes in the fit of dentures or dental appliances
Advanced Gum Disease Treatment Options
At City Dental and Implant Center, we offer a range of advanced gum disease treatment options tailored to meet your specific needs. Our skilled periodontists will conduct a thorough examination to assess the severity of your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan. Some of the treatment options we provide include:
- Scaling and root planing: This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and smoothing the root surfaces to promote gum healing and prevent further progression of gum disease.
- Antibiotic therapy: In some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed to control infection and reduce inflammation associated with gum disease.
- Laser gum therapy: Utilizing state-of-the-art laser technology, we can precisely remove diseased tissue, disinfect the area, and promote gum regeneration. This minimally invasive procedure offers faster healing and reduced discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
- Gum grafting: If gum recession has occurred, our skilled periodontists can perform gum grafting to restore the gumline and protect the tooth roots from exposure.
- Dental implants: For patients who have experienced tooth loss due to advanced gum disease, we offer dental implant placement to restore both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.
