Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease, not tooth decay, is the leading cause of dental problems and tooth loss among older adults. Periodontal disease typically results from plaque that becomes trapped below the gum line, where it cannot be removed by brushing and flossing. However, smoking, certain medications, and health conditions can also contribute to gum disease. Without treatment, gum disease can cause pain, bleeding gums, and bad breath, and it weakens the tissues and ligaments that support the teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss.
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
How is Periodontal Disease Treated?
One of the most effective ways to prevent and treat gum disease is to undergo regular dental cleanings, in addition to using medicated mouthwashes and maintaining excellent oral hygiene. In more advanced cases, specialized deep cleaning procedures, such as scaling or root planing, may be necessary to heal the gums. For most patients, these measures are sufficient to control gum disease. In rare cases, soft tissue grafts may be required to replace areas where the gums have significantly receded.
