Regular visits to the hygienist are essential for maintaining the health of your gums and preventing gum disease. Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that can’t be addressed through regular brushing and flossing. By seeing our skilled hygienists regularly, you can ensure your gums stay healthy, preventing issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. Routine cleanings also allow us to detect any early signs of gum problems, helping to address them before they become more serious.
Gum disease refers to the inflammation, soreness, or infection of the tissues that support the teeth. There are two primary types of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontal disease.
All gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the surface of your teeth and gums daily. While most of the bacteria in plaque are harmless, some are known to be the main cause of gum disease. To prevent and treat gum disease, it’s essential to remove plaque from your teeth every day. This can be achieved through regular brushing and flossing, which help keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Unfortunately, gum disease often progresses without pain, meaning you may not notice the damage it’s causing. However, when the bacteria become more active, your gums may become sore, and this can lead to gum abscesses, with pus potentially oozing from around the teeth. Over time, if left untreated, gum disease can result in the loss of the bone that supports the teeth. If the disease persists untreated for a long period, treatment may become more complicated and challenging.
