Periodontics

Back

Regrettably, lots of us neglect to acknowledge the value of the teeth we have.  In addition to its role in preventing the spread of bacteria that are present in our mouths, gum tissue also plays an important role in ensuring that our teeth remain in healthy positions.  It is possible for food particles and bacteria to penetrate the soft tissue of the gums if they are not properly cared for, which may lead to the development of gum disease. If this occurs, the gums may become infected.  The periodontal treatment that our highly competent local dentists provide comes in the form of both cutting-edge surgical techniques and more conservative therapeutic approaches.

Signs That You Need Periodontics

 -          Healthy gums are firm and pink to the touch, in contrast to diseased gums, which may seem red, swollen, painful, and irritated. Diseased gums often have these characteristics.

-          Inflammation and irritation of the gum tissue may occur when oral bacteria attack the base of the teeth that are near to the gum line. This can cause the gums to become red and swollen.

-          If you notice that your gums are bleeding often, it is possible that you have advanced gum disease. There is also the possibility that the continuous bleeding may cause a metallic taste to appear on the tongue.

-          Having terrible breath is caused by bacteria that act on food particles that have been caught in the mouth, which results in the production of toxins and gasses that have an unpleasant odor. Halitosis, sometimes known as bad breath, is frequently an indication of gum disease.

-          Loose teeth are the result of bacteria eating away at the bone that surrounds individual tooth.

Monarch Dentistry Treats Periodontal Diseases

 An examination of your oral cavity will be conducted, and one of our highly educated dentists will propose the best course of action for you. We will clean your teeth and gums thoroughly to remove tartar and calculus from between your teeth and below the gum line.  This process is called as scaling and root planing.

 In more extreme situations, gum surgery may be required to remove the infection.   Failure to treat periodontal disease may cause pregnancy difficulties, raise the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, and increase the risk of having a stroke.  If you want to learn more, please schedule a consultation with Monarch Dentistry in Cambridge.
