Gum Disease: How To Deal With It?

Are Bleeding Gums Putting Your Smile at Risk? Gum disease, often overlooked in its early stages, is a silent but dangerous dental condition. It begins with mild symptoms like bleeding gums during brushing and flossing, which many people dismiss as insignificant. However, untreated gum disease can progress to more severe problems like receding gums, tooth loss, and even health complications such as heart disease or diabetes.

Ignoring gum health can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and costly treatments down the line. But there’s good news—gum disease is preventable and treatable when caught early. With professional care and a proactive approach, you can restore your gum health and protect your smile.

How Gum Disease Develops

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, starts as gingivitis, a condition caused by plaque buildup on teeth and gums. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, irritates the gum tissue, leading to redness, swelling, and bleeding. If left untreated, gingivitis can advance to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that trap more bacteria. This can result in bone loss and eventual tooth loss.

Key symptoms of gum disease include:

  • Persistent bad breath.
  • Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums.
  • Receding gums or teeth appearing longer.
  • Loose teeth or changes in bite alignment.

The Solution

Depending on the severity of the condition gum problems can be treated using any or combination of the following treatments. 

Professional Cleaning and Scaling

For early-stage gum disease (gingivitis), a thorough cleaning and scaling can remove plaque and tartar buildup. This helps reduce inflammation and promotes gum healing.

Root Planing for Advanced Cases

When gum disease progresses, root planing is essential to clean below the gum line, removing bacteria from deep pockets. This smooths the tooth roots and allows the gums to reattach.

Laser Therapy for Precise Results

At Ivory Dental Clinic, we utilize cutting-edge laser technology to target infected gum tissue with precision. This minimally invasive method reduces discomfort and promotes faster healing.

Surgical Intervention for Severe Periodontitis

In severe cases, surgical procedures like gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery may be necessary. These treatments help restore gum health and prevent further damage.
