Promote oral health and prevent serious problems with Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a common dental problem that can often be treated successfully if caught early.

If you have mild gum disease, it’s essential to get treatment, which involves dental cleaning as soon as possible to avoid more serious problems down the road. However, if your gum disease has progressed to periodontitis, it’s best to visit your dentist for the appropriate gum disease treatment that suits your case.

At Maylands Dental Centre, we believe that everyone deserves healthy teeth and gums, regardless of their budget. That’s why we offer a range of affordable dental treatments for mild and advanced gum disease, including professional deep dental cleaning, antibiotic therapy, home care programs, periodontal surgery, and dental restorations. We are also passionate about creating a healthy society and promoting oral care that helps treat gum disease and ensure the health of your body. At our clinic, we provide all patients with diet sheets, as well as extensive information for parents on how to feed their children healthy snacks that are low in sugar and acid. If requested, we can also coach adults on how to maintain their oral health in order to keep their smiles in good shape.

Reasons Why You Would Need Gum Disease Treatment

To Prevent Serious Oral Health Problems: Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues like heart problems if left untreated. At Maylands Dental Centre, we offer a range of treatments for gum disease, including deep cleaning and scaling, antibiotics therapy, and periodontal surgery to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with bacterial infection.
For Pain Relief: At Maylands Dental Centre, we offer a range of treatments to relieve pain and infection caused by periodontitis. By performing deep cleaning, or periodontal surgery, we can clean your teeth's roots and restore bone loss caused by gum disease.
For a Cleaner, Fresher Breath: You may be surprised to know that chronic bad breath is one of the many indicators of gum disease. Our professional deep dental cleaning scrapes off plaque and tartar from above and below your gum line for a cleaner, fresher mouth.
For a Healthy, Beautiful Smile: If plaque and tartar are allowed to build up above and below your gum line, it can lead to serious dental problems like tooth loss. At Maylands Dental Centre, we can ensure that your gums stay healthy and help prevent tooth loss with regular scale and cleans so you can smile with confidence.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the possible causes of gum disease?

Gum disease is frequently caused by poor dental hygiene. Food particles and plaque can get caught in the crevice between the gum lines.

When brushing and flossing fail to remove the softer build-up, it calcifies into place. It solidifies into tartar with time and causes an infection or inflammation.

The use of tobacco products, including cigarettes, can cause and exacerbate gum disease by damaging the bone and soft tissue attachments to your teeth. The combination of hormonal shifts, high-stress levels, and poor oral hygiene may also contribute to gum disease.

What does gum disease look like?

Healthy gums are pale pink and firm, fitting snugly around your teeth. Gum disease is typically characterized by:

Puffy or swollen gums
Purplish, bright red, or dusky red gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss
Plaques or white spots on your gums
Pus between your gums or between your teeth
New spaces appear between the teeth
Receding gums, making your teeth appear longer

What should I expect during gum disease treatment?

There are several ways to combat gum disease:

Professional Dental Cleaning: Plaque, tartar, and bacteria are all removed during a professional cleaning. To prevent gum inflammation, a scaling process removes tartar from above and below the gum line, while root planing smooths rough areas and removes germs from the roots.
Periodontal Surgery: Surgery may be required when gum disease has progressed to an advanced stage. A flap surgical procedure works by cutting into the gums to gain access to the infected gum tissue. The infected region is appropriately cleaned and sewn up to allow it to recuperate. In chronic cases where the teeth and jaw are too damaged to repair, bone grafting may be required.
Dental Restoration: Any dental issues that are contributing to your gum disease, such as misaligned teeth or poorly fitted crowns, may be addressed by your dentist. Plaque that accumulates on these ill-fitting structures and irritates the gums might be difficult to remove during daily oral hygiene. Severe gum disease may necessitate dental implants to replace lost teeth.
Home Care Program: Prevention is always better than a cure. At Maylands Dental Centre, our practice is built around good oral hygiene. If your gums occasionally bleed when you brush your teeth, you may have mild gum disease. The condition is completely treatable and can be managed by brushing and flossing correctly at home. Your dentist will provide you with advice regarding your brushing and flossing program. It is also recommended to visit your dentist regularly to prevent and treat mild gum disease, usually at least two times a year.

How to prevent gum disease?

Observe good oral hygiene to prevent gum disease. Get in touch with our dental professionals for the correct oral hygiene maintenance that will help you maintain a healthy smile. We also recommend visiting your dentist regularly for a routine check-up and scale and clean to prevent gum disease.

What are the possible risks of untreated gum disease?

Untreated gum disease will advance to periodontitis, a more severe stage of gum disease. The infection and pockets deepen while eating away at your jaw, causing your teeth to loosen and fall out. Periodontal pockets arise when the gums recede or separate from the teeth and jaw bone as gum disease progresses. This might result in a shift in the bite and pain when chewing or biting.

Periodontitis is a condition that can also lead to tooth loss. In addition, periodontitis bacteria can enter your circulation through your gum tissue, potentially damaging other parts of your body. Periodontitis, for example, has been associated with rheumatoid arthritis, respiratory disease, and coronary artery disease.

When should I visit my dentist for gum disease treatment?

We recommend visiting your dentist regularly, preferably every six months. However, if you are diagnosed with gum disease, more frequent dental visits may be advised. Contact a dental professional when you observe any gum disease symptoms right away. Gum disease damage is more likely to be reversed if we start treating you early.
