Gum Treatment
Gum disease can be a cause for concern. Our dentists aim to catch it early before it can cause you any serious harm. We offer treatments for this and have the best people at hand to help. We screen for gum disease during routine dental checks. Signs include bleeding, swollen or receding gums, loose teeth, bad breath, or pus from the gums. If you notice these, you should schedule a full mouth assessment with us so we can treat it early and ensure your good oral health.
What is it?
- Gum disease comes in two types: Gingivitis and Periodontal disease
- Gingivitis makes your gums red and swollen but is reversible. If ignored, it may progress to Periodontal disease, which also causes red, swollen gums but additionally erodes the bone holding your teeth, potentially leading to wobbly teeth.
- Periodontal disease, often unnoticed due to its painless nature, is a primary reason for tooth loss and exceeding tooth decay.
- Periodontal disease arises from bacteria in plaque forming a harmful biofilm on teeth and gums. While plaque is common, usually other risk factors such as smoking, genetics, stress, or certain medical conditions like diabetes can significantly contribute.
Links between gum disease, heart disease, and Rheumatoid arthritis highlight the importance of managing gum disease. This is why we take such a vigilant approach; we aim to keep you as healthy as possible.
Treating Periodontal disease is a slow process aiming for stabilisation. Our team at Spondon Dental is well-equipped for its management. Treatment involves enhancing oral hygiene, measuring diseased areas, deep cleaning, and regular evaluations to promote healing.
If you suspect you have gum disease, our team at Spondon Dental is here to help.
