When is Periodontal Gum Disease Treatment Necessary

1.

Persistent Bleeding

Gums that bleed regularly during brushing or flossing indicate active inflammation and infection.

2.

Deep Periodontal Pockets

Measurements of 4mm or greater during examination reveal spaces where bacteria accumulate and damage tissue.

3.

Bone Loss

X-rays showing deteriorated bone structure leads to tooth mobility and eventual tooth loss.

4.

Chronic Bad Breath

Persistent odor or metallic taste that doesn’t improve with regular oral hygiene suggests bacterial infection.

Untreated gum disease progresses from simple inflammation to destruction of the tissues and bone that support your teeth.

Periodontal Disease Treatment FAQs

If you have any questions about gum disease treatment, we’ve got answers.

Early signs include bleeding gums during brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and red or swollen gums. You may also notice gum recession, loose teeth, or changes in your bite as the disease progresses.

Modern periodontal procedures are designed to minimize discomfort using local anesthesia and advanced techniques like laser therapy. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and our photobiomodulation therapy to accelerate healing.

Yes, research shows strong connections between periodontal disease and systemic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. The chronic inflammation and bacteria from gum disease can enter your bloodstream, potentially affecting other organs and compromising your immune system.

Periodontal disease affects natural teeth and their supporting structures, while implant disease (peri-implantitis) affects dental implants and surrounding tissues. Both involve bacterial infection and inflammation, but implant disease can progress more rapidly and requires specialized treatment approaches.

Prevention includes excellent daily oral hygiene, regular professional cleanings, avoiding tobacco use, and maintaining a healthy diet. For implant patients, specialized cleaning tools and techniques are essential, along with regular periodontal maintenance visits to monitor tissue health.
