We will take care of your oral health
Gum disease is known medically as periodontal disease or periodontitis. It’s a major cause of tooth loss in adults, especially older people.
Gum disease is very common in Australia, with nearly one-third of adults having moderate to severe periodontitis. Gingivitis is even more common with more than half of adults having some form of Gingivitis.
Periodontal disease starts as gingivitis as a result of plaque and tartar build-up in pockets between the teeth and gums.
Gum disease treatment at Ocean View Dental helps to prevent tooth loss and restores oral functionality.
Our periodontal treatments also help to avoid serious complications that can develop due to gum disease – infection can travel from the mouth via the bloodstream to other areas of the body, including vital organs.
How does it feel?
Gum disease or periodontitis is a dangerous gum infection that harms soft tissue and, if left untreated, can kill the bones that hold your teeth. Periodontitis can cause tooth loosening or tooth loss.
Periodontitis is prevalent, yet it is largely avoidable. It is mainly caused by inadequate dental hygiene. Your odds of successfully treating gum disease and lowering your risk of developing it can be considerably increased by brushing and flossing at least twice a day, twice a day at night, and scheduling routine dental exams.
Gums that are in good health are firm, light pink, and tightly affixed to teeth. Gum disease can cause the following signs and symptoms:
- Gums that are swollen or bulging
- Gums that are bright red, dark red, or purplish in colour.
- Easily bleedable gums.
- Gums that are sensitive to the touch.
- When cleaning or flossing your teeth, you may vomit blood.
- Chewing is painful.
- You have pus between your gums and teeth.
- Stinky breath.
How do I prevent it?
In many cases, gum disease is preventable with good oral hygiene backed by preventive dentistry.
You can minimise the risk of periodontal disease by:
- Maintaining a routine of regular brushing and flossing.
- Getting regular dental check-ups and professional dental cleanings.
If you suspect you may have periodontitis contact us now – early treatment is crucial to avoid any further damage to your oral health!
