Gum Care Treatment
Gum disease is an inflammation of gums and tissues surrounding teeth. Gum disease if neglected may lead to loss of jaw bone and teeth which is called periodontitis. Poor oral hygiene is the main cause of gum disease. The bacterial over growth near the gums lead to red, swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, pus discharge, pain while chewing and loose teeth.
Regular dental check ups are helpful to diagnose gum disease. Superficial or deep scaling or cleaning is advised to treat gum disease. If the infection reaches jaw bone from the gums, a surgical or non surgical approach is opted to treat periodontal disease based on amount of bone loss. Non surgical approaches involves deep curettages and surgical approach involves flap surgeries to prevent further bone or loss.
People with gum or periodontal disease are at higher risk of developing life-threatening diseases like diabetes and heart attacks. Hence we focus on educating our patients about good oral hygiene maintenance.
