GUM DISEASE also known as periodontal disease, varies from simple gum inflammation to a more destructive disease which can eventually result in tooth loss

The mild variety is called gingivitis. When you have that, only your gums are infected. If you don’t treat it, the infection can travel below your gum line and into your bone. Then it becomes a more serious form of gum disease called periodontitis

SYMPTOMS of gum disease are:

Bad breath

Bleeding Gums

Loose Teeth

Sensitive Teeth

TREATMENT

The goal is to control your infection. The periodontists at THE BEST SMILES DENTAL, will look at what’s affected to figure out where to start.

DEEP CLEANING

The first line of treatment for gum disease is a careful, in-depth cleaning. Unlike a regular cleaning, which is usually only done above the gum line, deep cleaning goes under the gum line.

SURGERY

If deep cleaning can’t take care of the whole problem, you may need to go deeper to fix it.

FLAP SURGERY

Your gums are lifted up so the surgeon can get at tartar deep underneath your gum line. Then they stitch your gum back in place so it’s tight around the tooth to help prevent MORE TARTAR FROM FORMING.

In some patients, gum infection can break down the bone, resulting in bony defects which weaken the tooth. In such scenarios, regeneration with biocompatible materials like bone grafts, membranes, growth mediators to help body regrow lost bone and increase life of tooth.
