What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues surrounding the teeth, caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. It begins as gingivitis, with symptoms like red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. Gum disease not only affects oral health but is also linked to overall health issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further complications and maintain a healthy smile.

Effective Treatment Options for Gum Disease

Treating gum disease early is essential for restoring gum health and preventing further issues. Here are common treatment options:

Periodontal Scaling and Root Planing

Scaling and root planing is a deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to reduce bacteria and promote gum healing. We use EMS Airflow technology in this treatment, which combines air, water, and fine powder to gently and effectively remove plaque and stains for a thorough clean.

Antibiotic Therapy

Topical or oral antibiotics may be prescribed to eliminate bacterial infection in the gums, enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments.

BioGaia ProDentis – Probiotics for Oral Health

BioGaia ProDentis is an oral probiotic lozenge containing Lactobacillus reuteri, which helps support gum health by promoting a balanced oral microbiome. It can be used as part of a comprehensive oral care routine to help maintain gum health.
