If your gums are sore, inflamed, or redder than usual, or if they bleed easily, you may suffer from gum disease.
WHERE YOUR SMILE COMES FIRST!
If your gums are sore, inflamed, or redder than usual, or if they bleed easily, you may suffer from gum disease. Periodontal disease is not only uncomfortable, but it can also put your smile at risk for tooth loss and infection. At Smiley Dental & Orthodontics, our dentists offer a variety of gum disease therapies and gum treatments, and we can help you find the right one for your needs. We encourage you to contact your local Smiley Dental & Orthodontics office for more information if you suffer from gum disease.
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition primarily caused by bacteria found in plaque. The bacteria inflame and infect the gum tissues, and when left untreated, the gums can eventually begin to pull away from the teeth. Untreated periodontal disease can result in bone loss, tooth loss and gum tissue recession.
If your gums are swollen, red or tender, or if your gums bleed easily, you may have periodontal disease. Other common symptoms of gum disease include loose teeth, painful chewing, persistent bad breath and receding gums that make your teeth appear longer than normal. Following an exam at our office, our dentist and team will be able to determine whether you suffer from periodontal disease.
The treatment for gum disease is based upon your specific needs. Depending on the severity of the condition, our dentist may recommend additional professional dental cleanings, improved at-home oral hygiene, antibiotic treatment, scaling and root planing (deep cleanings), or gum surgery. We strive to help you restore your oral health and halt the progress of the disease. For more information on periodontal treatment, we welcome you to call or visit our office soon. We look forward to caring for your smile!
