FAQs about Gum Disease Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum disease?
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup. It starts as gingivitis, which leads to swollen, bleeding gums, and can progress to periodontitis, which affects the bone supporting your teeth. Early treatment is crucial to prevent tooth loss and further complications.
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria on your teeth. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, and certain medical conditions can increase your risk. Regular cleanings and good oral care help reduce the risk of gum disease significantly.
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
Symptoms of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, bad breath, and receding gums. As the disease progresses, you may notice loose teeth and pus around the gums. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent severe damage.
How is gum disease treated at South Beach Dental?
Treatment depends on the stage of the disease. For mild cases, professional cleaning may suffice. More severe cases require deep cleanings or laser treatments to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. South Beach Dental uses the latest techniques to make treatment as comfortable as possible.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, can be reversed with good oral hygiene and professional cleanings. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can only be managed, not fully reversed. Consistent dental care and treatment can help prevent further damage.
Is gum disease painful to treat?
At South Beach Dental, we prioritize your comfort. While gum disease treatment involves deep cleaning, we use local anesthetics and advanced technologies to ensure the procedure is as pain-free as possible.
How can I prevent gum disease from coming back?
Preventing gum disease requires a combination of regular dental check-ups, professional cleanings, and good oral hygiene at home, including brushing and flossing daily. South Beach Dental will provide you with personalized guidance to maintain healthy gums.
Is gum disease linked to other health problems?
Yes, untreated gum disease has been linked to several serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Treating gum disease is important for your overall health, not just your oral health.
How often should I get my gums checked?
Regular dental check-ups every six months are key to monitoring gum health and preventing disease progression. If you’ve had gum disease, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits to keep your gums healthy.
Will my insurance cover gum disease treatment?
Many insurance plans cover gum disease treatment, especially when it’s medically necessary. South Beach Dental works with various insurance providers and offers flexible payment options to ensure you receive the care you need without financial stress.
