Get Real Gum Disease Treatment Solutions

Gum disease is a kind of infection of the tissues that surround your teeth. Many adults lose their teeth due to this problem. As gum disease is usually painless, so patients don’t get to know if they have it.

Here are a few warning signs that can help identify this problem:

• Gums that bleed usually
• Red, swollen or tender gums
• Gums that have pulled away from the teeth of the individual
• Continuous bad breath or bad taste
• Permanent teeth that are loose or separating
• Any unexpected change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
• Any change in the fit of partial dentures

Several factors that increase the risk of developing gum disease are:

• Poor oral hygiene
• Use smoking or chewing tobacco
• Genetics
• Crooked teeth that are quite hard to keep clean
• Pregnancy
• diabetes problem

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is actually a mild form of gum disease that can generally be reversed with daily brushing and flossing, and regular cleaning by a dentist of The Townsville Dental Centre.

Periodontitis

When your gingivitis problem is not treated on time, it can advance to “periodontitis”. In this form of gum disease, gums pull away from the teeth and form “pockets” that are infected.

A Brief Introduction to the Gum Disease Treatment in Townsville

The main goal of gum disease treatment is to control the infection. The type of treatment will vary, depending on the condition of the gum disease.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)

At The Townsville Dental Centre, our dental hygienist takes the responsibility of removing the plaque through a deep-cleaning method called scaling and root planning. Scaling is a method basically referred to as scraping off the tartar from above and below the gum line. The root planning helps patients to get rid of the rough spots on the tooth root where the germs gather while helping them to remove bacteria that contribute to the disease.

In addition to this, our dentists Townsville also provide some other gum disease treatment solutions:

• Non-Surgical Treatments
• Gum Graft Surgery
• Dental Crown Lengthening
• Dental Implants
• Plastic Surgery Procedures
