Get Your Gum Disease Under Control Without Surgery
The gold standard for treating gum disease is a combination of scaling and root planing:
Scaling is the process of removing the plaque and tartar buildup from along and below the gumline. Any plaque and tartar on the teeth will be removed as well. The bacteria that cause gum disease find it hard to attach to the smooth surface of the teeth and gums after the scaling is completed.
Root planing is performed in combination with scaling. Dr. Abraham or another talented member of our team will remove the bacteria from below the gumline, including bacteria on the tooth roots. The surface of the roots is softer and more porous than the rest of the tooth. This makes this area an attractive location for bacteria to grow.
Your dentist will then smooth out any rough spots left on the root surface. This will help keep bacteria from flocking back to begin growing again.
Recognize the Signs of Gum Disease
The most obvious symptom of gum disease is red, swollen gums. They may bleed when you floss. Even if you feel no pain, you should call us immediately if this sounds like you. Early intervention and prevention are essential for keeping you out of pain!
If your gum disease is advanced, you may experience more severe symptoms:
- Spaces between your gums and your teeth, sometimes filled with infection
- A foul smell or taste in your mouth, accompanied by bad breath
- Gums that have receded back from your teeth
