Gum Disease: Symptoms, Prevention, and Treatment at Meenakshi Dental Clinic

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common infection that damages the soft tissues and bone supporting your teeth. It often starts subtly with symptoms like red, swollen, or bleeding gums, and persistent bad breath. As the disease progresses, you might experience receding gums, loose teeth, pain while chewing, and even changes in your bite. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious health problems, including tooth loss, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes complications. Therefore, early detection and intervention are crucial.

Preventing gum disease involves a multi-faceted approach. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is paramount, including brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily to remove plaque and food particles. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential for removing hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing and flossing can't eliminate. A healthy diet low in sugary foods and drinks, along with avoiding smoking, can further reduce your risk of developing gum disease.

At Meenakshi Dental Clinic, located in the heart of Virar East, we understand the importance of preventing and treating gum disease effectively.

Our comprehensive treatment options for gum disease at Meenakshi Dental Clinic range from non-surgical approaches like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to surgical procedures when necessary. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, while root planing smooths the tooth roots to help gums reattach. For more advanced cases, we offer procedures such as gum grafting to restore lost tissue and bone grafting to regenerate bone support. Our priority is to restore your oral health and prevent further progression of the disease.
