What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal diseases are infections of the structures that support your teeth. At first, plaque and tartar buildup can cause gum sensitivity. Over time, this buildup increases beneath the gums and can develop into gingivitis. Although reversible, gingivitis is a serious condition that requires prompt attention. If left to untreated, the bacteria will cause inflammation and infection that can spread to other areas and cause more damage.

Bleeding gums are an early warning sign and may indicate the presence of gingivitis. Some other symptoms to watch for include:

Soft, tender, or inflamed gums
Receding gum line
Bad breath
Bright gums with a red or purple hue

Some cases of mild gingivitis are asymptomatic and may go unnoticed, so regular dental check-ups are very important. Consistent exams allow a dental professional to determine the health of your gums and provide early intervention when needed. It’s important to attend regular appointments so we can check the depth of your gum pockets. In some cases, deep pockets may be the only symptom of gum disease.

Make and keep your bi-annual dental visits, call our Fair Oaks Family Dental team at the first sign of periodontal distress.

Treating Gum Disease

Gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing. These procedures scrape away the offending plaque and tartar buildup and smooth the tooth roots to encourage gum reattachment. Severe periodontitis requires scaling and root planing along with antibiotic treatment. An antibacterial mouthwash is sufficient in simple cases, but oral antibiotics may be necessary for more advanced infections.

Recently visited this dentist office, as a child the dentist absolutely frightened me! So, growing up I had my reservations about the dentist. I absolutely despised it, but this dentist office changed all negative views I've had. On my last visit to the dentist I had a root canal done, and I felt absolutely NOTHING. I was very comfortable, the dentist and technicians were very professional and friendly. I have an upcoming appointment and I'm actually looking forward to it :)
