The Importance of Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health issue that affects many individuals. Without proper treatment, gum disease can lead to serious complications and impact your overall health.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease is caused by a buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, on the teeth and gums. If left untreated, plaque can harden and form tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums. This early stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis.

Gum Disease Symptoms

Recognizing the signs of gum disease is crucial for early intervention. Symptoms of gum disease include:

• Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
• Swollen or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Receding gums
• Loose or shifting teeth

At Teeth at Tiong Bahru, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatment services tailored to meet your individual needs. Our team of experienced dentists and orthodontists specialize in providing effective solutions for gum disease, ensuring optimal oral health.

Non-Surgical Treatments

In cases of mild to moderate gum disease, non-surgical treatments such as professional dental cleanings, scaling, and root planing are often recommended. These procedures help remove plaque and tartar buildup, allowing the gums to heal.

Surgical Interventions

For advanced cases of gum disease, surgical interventions like gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery may be necessary to restore gum health and prevent further damage to the teeth and supporting structures.

Preventing Gum Disease

Prevention is key when it comes to gum disease. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings, can help prevent the onset of gum disease and promote overall oral health.
