Understanding Gum Disease
- What is Periodontal Disease? Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums and surrounding tissues that can lead to tooth loss if untreated.
- Know the Signs: Look out for red, swollen gums, bleeding when brushing, persistent bad breath, and loose teeth. Catching these early is key!
Comprehensive Diagnosis
- Thorough Examinations: Our dentists check for signs of gum inflammation and measure pocket depths around your teeth to assess gum health.
- Advanced Imaging: X-rays help us see bone health around your teeth, ensuring no underlying issues are missed.
Effective Preventive and Non-Surgical Treatments
- Deep Cleaning: Scaling and root planing remove plaque and tartar below the gumline, helping your gums heal.
- Antibiotic Therapy: We may recommend medications to fight infections and support your gum recovery.
- Oral Hygiene Guidance: We provide tips on effective brushing and flossing to keep your gums healthy at home.
