Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, ranges from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to more severe conditions that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting your teeth (periodontitis). Early detection and treatment are crucial to reversing the effects of gum disease and preventing tooth loss.

• Gingivitis:

  This initial stage of gum disease is characterized by swollen, red, and bleeding gums. It is often caused by poor oral hygiene, which leads to plaque buildup on the teeth. Gingivitis is reversible with proper treatment and good oral hygiene practices.

• Periodontitis:

  If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease that leads to the loss of bone support for the teeth. Periodontitis requires more intensive treatment to prevent tooth loss and manage the infection.

Our Gum Disease Treatments

At Dental World, we offer a range of treatments to effectively manage and treat gum disease:

• Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing):

  This non-surgical treatment is essential for managing periodontitis. It involves removing plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth beneath the gum line. Scaling removes these deposits, while root planing smooths the tooth roots to help your gums reattach to your teeth. This procedure helps eliminate bacteria and promotes healing of the gum tissues.

• Crown Lengthening:

  Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that reshapes your gums to expose more of the tooth surface. This treatment is often necessary to ensure the success of specific dental restorations, such as crowns or bridges. By exposing more of the tooth, crown lengthening helps secure your dental restoration and prevents food particles from becoming trapped between your teeth and gums, reducing the risk of further gum disease.

• Root Coverage Surgery for Gum Recession:

  For patients experiencing gum recession, root coverage surgery can help restore a more natural gum line and protect the roots of your teeth. This procedure not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also improves gum health and function.

Benefits of Gum Disease Treatment

Treating gum disease not only improves your oral health but also offers several other benefits:

• Prevents Tooth Loss:

  By addressing the infection and inflammation, gum disease treatment helps prevent the loss of teeth, ensuring you maintain a healthy and functional smile.

• Reduces Systemic Health Risks:

  Gum disease has been linked to various systemic health conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes. Treating gum disease can help reduce these risks and improve your overall health.

• Enhances Oral Hygiene:

  Effective treatment of gum disease makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the likelihood of recurring infections and other dental problems.

• Improves Aesthetics:

  Treating gum disease can enhance the appearance of your gums and teeth, leading to a healthier and more attractive smile.
