Defining Gum Disease
Gum disease is a common condition that involves gum inflammation and damage to the soft tissue and bone that support teeth.
The two primary stages of gum disease are:
Gingivitis
This is the initial stage of gum disease. It is characterized by red, swollen gums that bleed easily, especially when brushing or flossing. Gingivitis is reversible with proper oral hygiene and professional dental care.
Periodontitis
If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis. In this condition, the inner layer of the gum and bone pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected. The infection and resulting inflammation can damage the bone and connective tissues that hold the teeth in place, causing tooth loss.
Signs of Gum Disease
Common signs of gum disease include but are not limited to:
- Frequently swollen, red, or tender gums
- Gums that bleed easily
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession
- Loose teeth
How Do Dentists Treat Gum Disease?
Our experienced dentists and dental hygienists have numerous non-surgical and surgical treatments at their disposal to address moderate to severe gum disease.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Professional Dental Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
This non-surgical procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline to prevent further gum disease from progressing. We use the EMS AIRFLOW® technology, gently and efficiently removing biofilm, plaque and calculus leaving your teeth smooth and clean. We still utilize traditional ultrasonic and hand scaling and root planing in situations that require it.
Antibiotics
Antibiotics can help control bacterial infections and reduce inflammation. Antibiotics are sometimes necessary before and or after certain dental procedures for tooth, gum, and sinus infections. If you require antibiotic treatment, your Dentists at Sycamore Dental are trained to prescribe the right one for your needs.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
We use the Solea® laser system to remove diseased tissue and bacteria from the periodontal pockets, promoting healing and reducing pocket depth without incisions. This aids the patient's ability to keep the area cleansed to prevent infection and reduces recovery time.
