Do you have soreness in your gums or persistent bleeding? If so, this could indicate the presence of issues like periodontal disease, which need treatment to keep your smile whole. At this point, you could benefit from periodontal therapy from your team at Riverside Dental Group!
The Indicators of Periodontal Disease
How do you know if you have gum disease? Essentially, any changes to your gum tissues could be a sign of trouble, and a sign that you need to see our team for a diagnosis and to discuss treatment. Warning signs could include soreness in the tissues, as well as redness and bleeding. As the issue grows in severity, this could include gum recession, in which the tissues pull away to expose portions of the roots, changing the appearance of your smile and increasing the risk of tooth decay, infection, and even periodontitis, the stage of the disease linked to adult tooth loss. When you have these changes, we hope you will see us for care right away!
Help with Periodontal Therapy
With periodontal therapy, we can manage the disease and help prevent the stages linked to adult tooth loss. Our team could start with a deep cleaning, also known as a scaling and root planing. This involves using an ultrasonic scaling device and a manual pick to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, as well as the roots and from under the gums. These actions help us bring the disease into a manageable state. We then manage the disease moving forward with a routine cleaning every three to four months to control buildup and keep your gums strong and your smile full!
For more advanced stages, we could employ dental lasers to gently trim away the diseased portions of your gums, which can be done with comfort and precision in only one sitting. We again follow this with routine care to better manage the issue.
Better Homecare
Following care in our office, you can make changes to your oral hygiene routine at home to better manage the issue and keep your smile strong! For example, be sure you brush and floss daily, limit the amount of sugar and starch in your diet, and also avoid tobacco products.
