Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common dental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by inflammation and infection of the gum tissues surrounding the teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious oral health problems, including tooth loss.
Signs and Symptoms
Gum disease often begins with mild symptoms that are easy to ignore. However, it is crucial to pay attention to any signs of gum disease to prevent further complications. Common symptoms include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums, especially during brushing or flossing
- Receding gums or teeth appearing longer than usual
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
The Importance of Early Detection and Treatment
Early detection and proper treatment are vital for managing and preventing the progression of gum disease. At Teeth At Tiong Bahru, our experienced dentists and orthodontists employ advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and treat gum disease effectively.
Our Approach to Gum Disease Treatment
When it comes to the best treatment for gum disease, we believe in a personalized approach that is tailored to your specific needs. Our dedicated team of professionals will assess the severity of your condition and create a customized treatment plan to address your individual requirements.
Non-Surgical Treatments
In the early stages of gum disease, non-surgical treatments can often help eliminate infection and restore gum health. These may include:
- Professional dental cleaning: Our skilled dental hygienists will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gumline.
- Scaling and root planing: This deep cleaning procedure aims to remove bacteria and smooth the tooth roots to promote gum reattachment.
- Antibacterial mouth rinses: Using targeted antimicrobial agents can help control the infection and reduce inflammation.
Surgical Treatments
In advanced stages of gum disease where non-surgical treatments are not sufficient, surgical interventions may be necessary. Our talented team is skilled in performing various surgical procedures, including:
- Flap surgery/pocket reduction surgery: This procedure involves lifting the gums to remove tartar and repositioning them to reduce pocket depth.
- Gum grafting: For cases of severe gum recession, gum grafting can restore gum tissue and protect the roots of the teeth.
- Bone grafting: In situations where the supporting bone has been damaged, bone grafting helps regenerate bone tissue and provide stability.
