Understanding Periodontal Disease with Smiles by Goh

Periodontal disease, also referred to as gum disease or periodontitis, is an infection that affects the gums and the supporting bone around the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to serious oral health issues such as tooth loss. Seeking early treatment from a gum disease dentist is essential to preserving the health of your gums and the roots of your teeth. Our clinic provides a range of services to treat periodontal disease and prevent it from progressing further.

  • What is gum disease?

    Gum disease, or periodontal disease, begins with the buildup of plaque on teeth, which can lead to inflammation and infection of the gums. If not treated early, the infection can spread to the bone supporting the teeth and cause periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease.

  • What are the early warning signs of gum disease?

    The early warning signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums that may bleed during brushing or flossing. Other common symptoms are persistent bad breath, receding gums, and increased tooth sensitivity. If left untreated, these symptoms can progress to more serious stages of gum disease, leading to gum recession, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to seek dental care early to prevent further damage and maintain your oral health.

     

  • How is gum disease treated?

    Gum disease treatment typically starts with a deep cleaning procedure, known as scaling and root planing, to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. For more advanced periodontal disease, treatments like laser therapy or surgical interventions may be necessary to restore gum health. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are key to successful periodontitis treatment and preventing further damage.
