Are you experiencing painful or swollen gums? It’s possible that you may be suffering from gingivitis or gum disease. At Washington Square Dental, we offer comprehensive periodontal cleaning and treatment services to help combat these issues. Don’t let gingivitis or gum disease go untreated. Get in touch with our team to schedule an appointment and get back on the path to a healthy smile.
We understand that preventing and treating gum disease is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy smile. Gingivitis, periodontal disease, and advanced periodontal disease are all types of gum disease that we can help you recognize and treat. Gingivitis is a common early stage of gum disease that often presents with bleeding gums and inflammation. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontal disease, which can involve the destruction of the connective tissue and bone that support your teeth.
More severe cases of gum disease may lead to advanced periodontal disease, which can ultimately cause tooth loss. Our knowledgeable team can help you understand the signs and symptoms of gum disease and work with you on a treatment plan to address it.
Identifying the signs of gum disease and taking early action can have a significant impact on your oral health. While gingivitis can often be reversed with proper care, advanced periodontal disease may only be controlled to prevent further progression. Here are some common symptoms of gum disease to keep in mind:
For patients suffering from gum disease and gingivitis, we’re here to assist you on your journey to restored gum health. Our team of dental experts will conduct a comprehensive examination during your appointment to accurately assess the severity of your condition. This evaluation may involve the use of X-rays to evaluate the extent of the problem and measuring the gum pocket depths to identify any indications of gum recession.
Once we have gained a thorough understanding of your unique situation, a few options are available. Deep dental cleanings reach below the gumline to effectively eliminate plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to inflammation and infection. This treatment can be combined with antimicrobial mouthwashes to treat bacteria that contributes to gum disease. We may also recommend more frequent cleaning visits to ensure proper disease monitoring. Rest assured, we’re committed to providing you with the highest standard of treatment and empowering you to maintain optimal gum health.
Your gums are just as important for your oral health as your teeth. Just like your teeth, maintaining healthy gums doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are few simple tips to follow:
We believe in taking a proactive approach to dental care. This means treating gum disease and gingivitis before it has a chance to progress into something more serious. With our state-of-the-art technology and gentle touch, we can help you achieve optimal oral health. Don’t let gum disease or gingivitis stand in the way of a bright, confident smile.
