Gum Health & Care

About Gum Health & Care

Gum care is essential for restoring oral health and preventing the progression of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues. Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, starts with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can advance to more severe forms (periodontitis) if left untreated.
 
At Dr, Dasari dental clinic Bhayandar east, we offer a range of treatments to address gum care based on its severity:
 
1. Professional Cleanings: For early-stage gum disease (gingivitis), we provide thorough dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing of the gums.
2. Scaling and Root Planing: For more advanced gum disease (periodontitis), scaling and root planing may be necessary. This deep cleaning procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smoothing the tooth roots to promote reattachment of the gums.
3. Antibiotic Therapy: In some cases, we may prescribe antibiotics to help control bacterial infection in the gums.
4. Surgical Procedures: For severe gum disease that does not respond to non-surgical treatments, surgical options such as flap surgery or bone grafts may be necessary to restore gum health and structure.
5. Ongoing Maintenance: After treatment, regular follow-up visits and proper home care are crucial to prevent recurrence and maintain gum health.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of gum disease, such as redness, swelling, or bleeding gums, contact our junfundental clinic for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is gum health important?

Healthy gums are crucial for overall oral health. They support your teeth and help prevent gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss, infections, and other health issues if left untreated.

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and gums that recede from the teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist.

To maintain healthy gums, practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, using an antibacterial mouthwash, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup on the teeth, which harbors bacteria. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, hormonal changes, certain medications, and genetic factors can also contribute to the development of gum disease.

Treatments for gum disease vary based on its severity. They may include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotics, and in more severe cases, surgical procedures to restore gum health.
