Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth. This can cause inflammation, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. It can also lead to the loss of bone and tooth loss if left untreated.
Risk factors for gum disease include poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, genetics, stress, hormonal changes, certain medications, and medical conditions such as diabetes.
Symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen, and bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, loose or shifting teeth, and changes in the way teeth fit together when biting.
Treatment options for gum disease depend on the severity and may include professional cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and in advanced cases, surgery.
Here at Dental Concepts we are ready to help you with gum health, and get you back into shape! Whether you require support from a hygienist or require medical intervention we are able to assist you.
1.Brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
2.Flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and along the gum line.
3.Using an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen breath.
4.Eating a balanced diet that is low in sugar and carbohydrates.
5.Visiting the dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
6.Additionally, quitting smoking and reducing stress can also help to prevent gum disease. Smoking weakens the immune system and increases the risk of gum disease, while stress can cause individuals to engage in behaviours like teeth clenching and grinding, which can lead to gum problems.
