Laser Gum Treatment by Specialist Dentist in Ashok Vihar

                               What is gum disease? 

Gum disease is also called periodontal disease. It is the inflammation of the soft tissue that is present around the tooth. If it is not treated in time, it can lead to inflammation of the jaw bone that’s why it is important to take advanced gum treatment services from qualified dentist. Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the gums. Building up of plaque results in gingivitis. The toxins present in plaque are responsible for the inflammation of gum tissue. Gum disease occurs when this inflammation spreads to the gum pockets that are located between the teeth. This condition is harder to treat than gingivitis. Jaw bone and connective tissue can be severely damaged in advanced gum disease. Eventually this will result in tooth loss. 

Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups make gum disease almost entirely preventable. Brushing, flossing and regular cleaning are sufficient in order to reverse the early stages of gum disease. Appropriate dental treatment is available to reverse moderate to advanced gum disease. 

                              Stages of Gum Disease 

1.Gingivitis: It is the mildest and earliest stage of gum disease. The gums turn red in colour, inflamed. Brushing of teeth can result in bleeding of gums in this stage. Irritation of gums is common and this is due to the bacteria that has built up in the plaque. Deep pockets are formed in the space between the teeth and gums. In this stage of gum disease, there is no damage to bone or tissue and it can be treated easily. Persistent bad breath and a metallic taste in the mouth are common signs in this stage of gum disease. It is important to visit your dentist regularly in order to identify these symptoms. Jain’s Dental Villa is the perfect destination for advanced gum treatment in Ashok Vihar. 

2.Periodontitis: The bone supporting the teeth is affected by gum infection in this stage of gum disease. Debris, bacteria and plaque accumulate in the pockets between the teeth. They can also spread below the gum line. Symptoms such as swelling, bleeding and redness become more acute. Teeth become loose, some bone and tissue loss may occur. 

3.Advanced Periodontitis: Pus is formed and the pockets deepen even more in this stage of gum disease. Deterioration of gum tissue is caused by toxins from the buildup of bacterial plaque and tartar. Bone and ligaments that support the teeth are also affected. Sensitivity to hot and cold increases and teeth may become loose. Removal of teeth may be required in order to prevent further spread of the disease.   

                                        Types of Advanced Gum Treatment in Ashok Vihar 

1.Deep Cleanings: In order to remove bacterial deposits deep under the gums, scaling and root planing must be done. If the area that is supposed to be cleaned is to be numbed, 2 appointments may be required. Conventional cleanings are used to prevent disease or reverse gingivitis whereas thorough scaling and root planing are required in the case of advanced periodontitis. 

2.Laser Gum Therapy: Disease-causing bacteria are destroyed with the help of soft tissue laser therapy without damaging the healthy cells surrounding them. This method is effective and predictable. Tissue reattachment can be achieved through this method when it is coupled with deep cleanings. 

3.Pocket Elimination Surgery: Flap surgery or pocket elimination surgery is carried out to diminish the gap between the teeth and gums. Indentations on the jaw bone facilitate the easy growth of bacteria. Surgery can be performed on the jaw bone reduce these indentations.  

4.Dental Implants: Implanting artificial teeth into the jawbone helps restore the mouth’s appearance and functionality after teeth have been lost due to periodontal disease. Before a dental implant is placed, tissue regeneration techniques may be necessary to fortify the bone. 

How to Prevent Gum Disease? 

1.Stop Smoking: Smoking can cause gum disease and quitting smoking can do wonders to your oral health. It is harder for your body to combat gum infections since smoking compromises the immune system. 

2.Reduce Sugar Consumption: Risk of periodontal disease increases if your diet is high on sugar. Formation of dental plaque and tartar occurs because sugar feeds the bacteria in your mouth. Consumption of fruits, vegetable and whole grains is recommended instead of sugary foods and drinks.
