What is Preventive Dentistry?
Preventive dental care includes regular check-ups, professional cleaning, and early treatment of dental issues. It helps in stopping problems like gum disease, tooth decay, and sensitivity before they become serious.
Understanding Periodontal (Gum) Disease
Periodontal disease or gums disease is a condition that occurs in tissues surrounding the teeth. The gums infections basically starts with plaque building up which tends to be thick along gums line as these areas are difficult to reach with our regular brushing. This bacterial plaque irritates and infects the gums. In the initial stages the gums become swollen and red, which may also bleed.
If the condition is left untreated it may lead to even worse condition called periodontal disease in which gums start pulling away from the tooth and a space called sulcus is created between tooth and the gums allowing the bacteria to spread till the capillaries, which dilates them leading to even more bleeding during brushing.
Gradually, plaque hardens even more to form calculus and gums loose further and infection near the roots may recede the tooth, eventually leading to tooth falling out. Bad breath is also often associated with periodontal disease.
Why Early Treatment is Important
So, it is highly recommended to address the bleeding gums situation at the earliest possible. The treatment for periodontal condition includes removal of bacterial and calculus/plaque. Once removed theinfection declines, inflammation dissipates and gums once again regain strength and forms effective seal between roots of the tooth and environment outside.
However bone loss caused by periodontal disease can never be reversed. We here at Gurugram Dental Clinic ensure best treatment, with best care for the best result.
