What Is Periodontal Care?
Periodontal care involves preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and other conditions affecting the gums and surrounding tissues. It is critical in maintaining oral health and preventing tooth loss, bad breath, and infections. Regular check-ups, thorough cleanings, and specialized treatments can make a big difference in gum health.
What Causes Gum Disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is often caused by plaque buildup along the gum line. If plaque isn’t removed through regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings, it can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation and infection.
How Do I Know If I Have Gum Disease?
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early detection is key, so schedule a visit if you notice any symptoms.
What Treatments Are Available for Gum Disease?
Treatments range from deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to antibiotic therapy and, in advanced cases, surgical procedures. Your dentist will recommend the best approach for your situation.
Why Is Gum Health So Important?
Healthy gums support teeth and protect the underlying bone structure. Gum disease doesn’t just affect your mouth—it’s linked to other health conditions, like heart disease and diabetes, making care essential for overall well-being.
How Can I Prevent Gum Disease?
Brush and floss daily, avoid smoking and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and exams. A healthy diet and proper hydration also promote good gum health.
