Gum Disease – the Quiet Culprit
Gum disease sneaks up quietly and can quickly turn into a seemingly out-of-control dental problem. Often beginning with foul breath and sometimes bleeding gums during brushing, gum disease can affect anyone, even with good oral hygiene habits.
Gingivitis and periodontitis are the gum disease that can lead to tooth loss and larger health issues and maybe hereditary or a possible effect of another underlying cause. But with proper care and intervention, you can bring your mouth back to health with the help of our experienced dentists at My Dentist in Alderley.

What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is one of the most prominent, yet most treatable oral health issues today. It is an infection of the gums and soft tissue that can spread beyond the mouth and can result in tooth loss and jawbone deterioration. The symptoms include the following:
Stages of Gum Disease
Gingivitis and periodontitis are the two prominent forms of gum disease. Gingivitis is less severe and early stages may be treated at home. When left untreated, it can turn to periodontitis and lead to tooth loss and need for bone grafting. The following are the different stages of gum disease:
Gingivitis
Mild Periodontal Disease
Moderate Periodontal Disease
Advanced Periodontal Disease
Periodontal Treatment for Gum Disease
Periodontal treatment is a common procedure and treatment varies according to the stage of gum disease development. If you are experiencing later stage periodontal disease, we can help stop the infection spread and help restore your oral health. The following treatments may be used:
Medications like antibiotics are often the first step to gain control of, and stop the spread of infection. Your dentist will prescribe the type of antibiotic that suits your needs and medical history.
Dental Cleaning and Scaling are procedures to help remove harmful plaque and calculus from the teeth that when left unchecked, can lead to tooth loss. This hardened form of bacteria cannot be removed with regular brushing and flossing, but professional cleaning can remove it from the teeth and below the gumline.
Root Planing is using the dental scaling technique to remove plaque from below the gumline and to help the roots of your teeth reattach to the gums. This area requires attention because when left untreated, it can lead to the deterioration of your jawbone, as well as lost teeth. This deep cleaning treatment is for the later stage periodontitis and is even beneficial for chronic periodontitis.
After Care
In some cases, the dentist will prescribe antibiotics to follow through with eliminating all infections. Some dentists may insert medication into the gumline or bacteria pockets to completely eradicate infection. A follow-up visit may be scheduled to ensure your entire mouth is healing as it should. The following are some things you can do to be proactive in your healing:
