Gum Disease
Even though some people think it is normal for their gums to bleed, it is actually an indication that you might have a gum infection.
Some of the most common symptoms of gum disease are:
- Bleeding gums
- Painful gums
- Sensitivity Recession
- Bad breath
- Swollen gums
- Red gums
Treating Periodontal Disease
The goal in treating periodontal disease is to reduce inflammation of the gums, reduce bacteria and prevent damage to surrounding bone. Depending on how far advanced is the patient’s periodontal disease, different periodontal treatment options will be presented.
Gum grafts
A gum graft which is also sometimes known as a gingival graft, is a procedure that aims at either thickening the gums or covering receding gums (that is the exposure of dental roots). The procedure is done by using grafterd oral tissue.
The exposure of roots or the thinning of the gums is often a result of periodontal disease, or abrasive brushing of teeth,which can cause the root surface of your teeth more likely to decay and to become more sensitive. If you think you have receding gums, or have sensitivity close to the root surface of your teeth, make sure to call us and book an appointment.
