Periodontal disease is most commonly caused by a buildup of plaque – a thick film of bacteria – on the gums and teeth. Gum disease can be caused by a number of factors, including the following:
Diagnosis requires an examination and consultation by one of our qualified gum disease dentists, who can determine the best treatment plan for your unique smile.
Your gums are like cushions for your teeth; they surround the tooth from its crown to its root in the jaw and help to support a healthy mouth. Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth, and without routine cleaning gum disease can occur.
Fortunately, this can be avoided by attending regular hygiene check-ups at the practice and maintaining a good daily hygiene routine. Brushing between the teeth, flossing and replacing your toothbrush every three months will also benefit your gum health.
Minimised risk of tooth loss.
Reduced risk of developing tooth decay and need for fillings.
Fresh, minty breath.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque on the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums, leading to inflammation and infection if not adequately removed.
The early signs of gum disease include redness, swelling, and bleeding gums during brushing or flossing. As the condition progresses, you may experience persistent bad breath, receding gums, tooth sensitivity, and even tooth loss.
Good oral hygiene practises are essential for preventing gum disease. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily, using mouthwash, and visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings. Quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, and managing stress also contribute to gum health.
