GUM TREATMENT
Healthy gums are very important to maintain healthy teeth. Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth, floss or eat hard foods such as apples? Do you feel there is a tartar on your teeth? Are there gaps developing between your teeth? Are your teeth becoming mobile? You may be having gum disease.
Gum disease is a painless disease causing bleeding of gums in mild cases to bone loss & mobility of teeth in advanced cases. These do not cause any pain most of the times to the patient and hence gets unnoticed leading to progression of disease and causing the teeth to start becoming mobile and requiring removal if not intervened at the right time.
The cause:
It’s typically caused by poor brushing and flossing habits that allow plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—to build up on the teeth and harden. If not cleaned in time it causes infection to reach the bone leading to bone loss and mobility of the teeth as it worsens.
It may however have a genetic or hereditary component as the cause called as aggressive form of disease affecting younger patients.
Check for the following Symptoms:
- Your gums may become swollen, red & sore.
- Bad Breath and bad taste in mouth
- Gums may be shrinking
- Your Teeth becoming loose or falling out
Treatment options :
In mild cases a simple treatment of cleaning or deep cleaning of gums by dentist is adequate.
In moderate to severe cases surgical procedures such as flap surgery or regenerative bone grafting surgery may be performed with or without lasers. LASERS cause less discomfort and faster healing during surgical procedure
