Gums are one of the most important areas of oral and dental health. Why? Because gum disease is one of the major causes of tooth loss. When left untreated it can also cause swollen, sore and bleeding gums, bad breath and nasty taste sensations. At Gipsy Lane Dental Practice your cosmetic dentist will concentrate on improving the health of your gums through the monitoring and treatment of the tissues supporting your teeth. Treatments offered which help prevent gum disease include the thorough removal of plaque from the teeth (the bacteria which is a major cause of gum disease and can develop into tartar if not removed).
There are many types of gum disease. The two main forms of gum disease are Gingivitis and Periodontitis. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the Gingival Tissue (your gums) when plaque has developed between the teeth and the gums. This type of gum disease can be fully treated. However, if it is not treated then it can lead to Periodontitis.
Periodontitis is when the bone and ligament around your tooth have also become infected, leading to a reduction in the bone level supporting your teeth. This can lead to tooth loss as the teeth become loose. There are many different degrees of Periodontitis, the more it develops, the more difficult it is to treat. Treatment and maintenance of gums is therefore paramount to achieve good dental health. At Gipsy Dental Practice we are able to offer expert advice on how to best care for your gums, including tooth-brushing techniques to ensure you fully remove plaque from your teeth every day.
