Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease, rather than tooth decay, is the leading cause of dental problems and tooth loss among older adults. Periodontal disease typically develops from plaque that becomes trapped below the gum line, where it cannot be removed by brushing and flossing. Other factors, such as smoking, certain medications, and underlying health conditions, can also contribute to gum disease. Without proper treatment, gum disease can lead to pain, bleeding gums, and bad breath. Over time, it weakens the tissues and ligaments supporting the teeth, eventually resulting in tooth loss.
Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease
How is Periodontal Disease Treated?
Preventing and treating gum disease starts with regular dental cleanings, medicated mouthwashes, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene. In more advanced cases, specialized deep cleaning procedures, such as scaling and root planing, are used to treat the gums and remove bacteria. For most patients, these treatments are effective in controlling gum disease. In severe cases, soft tissue grafts may be required to restore areas where the gums have receded significantly.
