Gingivitis
The first stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed during brushing. It’s reversible with professional cleanings and better oral care at home.
Periodontitis
Advanced gum disease that can lead to the loss of tissue and bone that support your teeth, potentially causing teeth to loosen or fall out.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease affects numerous individuals and can lead to serious dental and health issues if left untreated. At Carabelli Dental, we offer comprehensive solutions to prevent, diagnose, and treat gum disease at any stage.
Gingivitis: Early Gum Disease Treatment
Catch It Before It Progresses Gingivitis, often marked by gum inflammation and bleeding, is the earliest and mildest form of gum disease. Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are crucial for preventing and treating gingivitis. Our targeted treatments include:
Professional Cleaning
Removes plaque and tartar that contribute to gum inflammation.
Improved Oral Hygiene Education
Teaching effective brushing and flossing techniques to maintain gum health.
Regular Check-Ups
Scheduled visits to monitor gum health and prevent the progression to periodontitis.
Periodontitis: Advanced Gum Disease Management
Restore Health to Your Gums When gingivitis progresses to periodontitis, more comprehensive treatments become necessary. Our approach includes:
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
This procedure goes beyond regular cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the roots to promote gum reattachment.
Medication
We may recommend antimicrobial mouthwashes or antibiotic treatments to reduce bacteria below the gum line.
Surgery
For severe cases, surgical interventions such as flap surgery, bone grafting, or soft tissue grafts might be necessary to restore periodontal health.
Prevention and Maintenance
Keeping Your Gums Healthy
Preventing gum disease is more beneficial and less costly than treating it after it has progressed. We emphasize:
-
Regular Dental Visits: Professional cleanings every six months, or more frequently for those at high risk.
-
Comprehensive Patient Education: Ensuring you know how to care for your teeth and gums effectively at home.
-
Customized Care Plans: Tailored recommendations based on your specific risk factors and needs.
