Periodontal Disease Treatment

Effective Treatment in the Fight Against Periodontal Disease

Gum disease is a consequence of a number of different factors and can occur in varying degrees of severity. Known in its more advanced stages as ‘periodontal disease’, gum disease is one of the most common factors affecting the dental health of adults, creating a multitude of problems including loss of teeth, in most extreme cases.

Typically, periodontal disease is characterised by bleeding, pain and inflammation in the gums, unpleasant taste and bad breath. It is also a cause of great discomfort when chewing, biting and exposure to changing temperatures. The problems arising from the damage to the teeth’s supporting gums can leave them unstable and dysfunctional.

Essentially, periodontal disease begins with the build up of plaque which, if left uncleaned, hardens into tartar. This layer of tartar is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria which in turn acts as the primary cause for infection to the area of surrounding gum.

As this infection advances through the gums, the tooth enamel is loosened around the teeth and gums, which in turn, causes the gums to recede. A pocket is then created in which more bacteria may multiply, creating further disease and infection.

Periodontal gum treatments involve a range of procedure options, from the basic removal and cleaning of the teeth and gum area, to more advanced procedures in gum removal and re-composition.
