Managing Gum Health
We understand that managing gum health can feel challenging, especially if symptoms like bleeding or tenderness are already present. Our approach is based on evidence-backed techniques that focus on both treatment and prevention. After an assessment, we’ll discuss the most suitable options to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of progression.
Treatments may include scaling and root planing to remove bacterial build-up from below the gum line. In some cases, targeted antibacterial treatments are recommended to reduce inflammation and infection. We also offer practical advice on daily care routines that can help maintain gum health over time. Follow-up appointments are available to monitor progress and adjust care as needed.
Call 07 5524 8888 to arrange a visit or learn more about managing gum disease.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Early signs of gum disease often include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, particularly when brushing or flossing. Persistent bad breath and a receding gum line can also indicate a problem. In more advanced cases, gums may feel tender or start to pull away from the teeth. Regular dental check-ups help identify these signs early, allowing for treatment before more serious damage occurs. If left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, which may lead to tooth loss.
Can gum disease be reversed?
In its early stages, known as gingivitis, gum disease can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits can play a key role in managing symptoms and preventing progression. Once the condition advances to periodontitis, it often becomes more difficult to reverse. Treatments like scaling and root planing can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of further damage, but ongoing care is essential.
How does gum disease affect overall health?
Gum disease has been linked to various health issues beyond the mouth. Research suggests that chronic gum inflammation can increase the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream, potentially impacting other parts of the body. Maintaining good oral hygiene and treating gum disease early can help to reduce these risks. Regular dental visits are important for monitoring gum health and addressing issues promptly.
