Healthy Gums, Stronger Smiles
Toothtown Dental Clinic, Coimbatore provides comprehensive care for gum problems, from early gum inflammation to advanced periodontal disease. Healthy gums protect the teeth and supporting bone, while poor oral hygiene can allow plaque and tartar to build up and cause infection.
Common signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, swelling, bad breath, sensitivity, gum recession, loose teeth, and pain while chewing. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help protect your gums, teeth, and overall oral health.
Gum Disease Treatment
Effective Care for Healthier Gums Plaque which causes gum disease ,is a thin layer of bacteria and debris that constantly forms on teeth. Regular brushing and flossing help control plaque, while hardened plaque or tartar requires professional dental cleaning. If left untreated, gum disease can progress from gingivitis to periodontitis, affecting the tissues and bone supporting the teeth.
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition and may include scaling and polishing, deep cleaning or curettage, flap surgery, and laser-assisted gum treatment. Modern laser techniques may offer a minimally invasive approach for suitable patients, with treatment planned according to individual gum health.
- Know Your Treatment
Poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup are common causes. Pregnancy and lactation, smoking, tobacco use, certain medical conditions, hormonal changes, and other factors can also increase the risk.
Common signs include bleeding or swollen gums, bad breath, gum recession, sensitivity, loose teeth, pus, and discomfort while chewing.
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, usually involving red, swollen, tender, or bleeding gums. With timely care, it can often be managed before progressing further.
Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that can damage the tissues and bone supporting the teeth and may eventually lead to tooth loss if untreated.
Laser-assisted gum treatment may be suitable for selected periodontal conditions. Your dentist will assess your gums and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Brush twice daily, clean between your teeth, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid tobacco, and attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
