Creating beautiful smiles since 1969
A third of us have purply, bleeding gums and along with bad breath, these are signs of gum disease. Bleeding gums are a type of inflammation that isn’t just affecting our teeth and gums; the inflammatory products travel around our body via the bloodstream, initiating disease. Gum disease has been linked to diabetes, heart disease, strokes, dementia and premature babies. This is why maintaining a dental routine that supports gum that is good for your teeth is essential. Healthy gums help protect your tooth dental care and overall wellbeing. At our dental practice, gum health is treated as a vital part of your total dental experience.
Our dental hygiene treatment program will address gum problems using a multilayered approach, part of which is professionally deep cleaning to get rid of the hard yellow tartar (plaque removal) that gathers around teeth and showing you how to take care for your gum at home. Additionally, we focus on strengthening the immune system to help your body naturally fight gum inflammation. With the right care, bleeding gums, pain gum, and bad breath can improve within days, restoring comfort and confidence.
Gum disease is a complex disease also called as periodontal disease. It occurs due to intricate interactions between our immune system and the microorganisms that live around our teeth. Most of the mouth bacteria are superhero types maintaining our dental health; however, nasty microorganisms can also take hold if our health is out of balance. Suppose our harmful bacteria are left to multiply out of control. In that case, they will eat away at the bone supporting your teeth, eventually giving us gum pain, bleeding gums and upsettingly causing them to fall out.
Gum disease is also a silent ailment, so someone could be completely unaware that there’s anything untoward happening around their teeth. and gums. No gum pain is felt until the very end stages, when the tooth is about to drop out.
Early monitoring and detection of the disease keep open a more comprehensive range of treatments to help teeth last as long as possible. Deep cleaning sessions with numbing for comfort immediately create a healthier gum state and gum that is goof for your teeth. Wonderfully, we can now regenerate lost bone in certain situations with advanced surgical techniques for serious gum disease. Additionally, in the treatment options, we can gum graft around loose teeth to extend their lifespan. It’s marvellous to see loose teeth tightening up and the resolution of infection around the teeth as patients get healthier.
Happily, becoming “long in the tooth” is not inevitable as you age. Gum recession happens for different reasons; the main ones are due to underlying gum disease, or the type of gum you are born with. Gum disease dissolves the bone around your tooth, and when this slips back, so does the gum, giving a more extended tooth look. Regarding the type of gum, people have either a thin type that recedes quickly or a fat type with lots of collagen fibres that recedes at a slower rate. In many cases, receding gums cause sensitivity to cold and looseness of the tooth. Gum recession treatment may include hygiene therapy, grafting procedures, and changes to your dental routine to protect long-term gum health and reduce pain gum symptoms.
This lady was suffering from advanced gum disease and serious gum disease symptoms. There is a significant build-up of hard tartar, and a number of the teeth had lost most of their bony support and were loose. The treatment included whole mouth deep cleaning with numbing, removal of the hopeless teeth, tips on effective home cleaning and construction of a new better fitting denture. This treatment was performed under IV sedation as the patient was very nervous about the treatment. She was delighted at the improvement of her breath freshness and comfort of her mouth.
These X-rays illustrate bone loss due to gum disease. The bone appears whitish-grey around the tooth roots, while the black areas indicate the regions of bone loss. Bone grafting was performed around several of this patient’s teeth. In the post-treatment X-ray, you can see that additional white bone has regenerated around the teeth. This regeneration increases the lifespan of the teeth and helps to avoid the need for removable dentures.
