Prevent Periodontal Infections to Keep Your Teeth

The bacteria that cause gum disease already live in your mouth. Professional cleanings — along with your daily oral hygiene routine — make it less likely that they will cause an infection. However, they will take advantage of any opportunity to hide and grow between your gums and your teeth.

A vast majority of people will experience periodontal disease at least once. For others, this can become a chronic condition. Either way, we have three ways we can help you or someone you love to address this problem:

  • Preventive Services – The best way to deal with gum disease is by stopping it from taking hold. We will remove plaque and tartar buildup when you visit us for routine checkups.
  • Scaling and Root Planing – This is similar to a regular cleaning, but deeper. We get below the gumline to clean tartar attached to your roots. We also smooth the surface of your roots, which helps your tooth reconnect to your gums.
  • Perio Maintenance – Keep coming to see us after your initial treatment to keep your gums healthy with regular maintenance.

You are more likely to keep your gums in good shape or to find infections early when you make dental visits a few times each year. Finding gum disease early makes your care less expensive, more effective, and less invasive to treat.

Know the Signs of a Gum Infection

While gum infections can be painful in some cases, many times people don’t feel any pain at all. That is why is it so important to watch out for these problematic symptoms:

  • Gums that are red or swollen
  • Gums that feel tender
  • Bleeding gums
  • Changes to how your teeth fit together
  • Chronic bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
  • Receding gums
  • Teeth that feel loose

You also should know that your habits can contribute to gum problems. Poor oral care habits and smoking can make you more likely to develop periodontal problems. Having diabetes, a family history of gum problems, and becoming pregnant can raise your risk of gum problems.

It’s time for you to take control of your dental health. Keep your smile by caring for your gums. Come to Strong Roots Dental for gum disease treatment. Call our Jersey City office at (551) 200-6002 or our Hoboken office at (201) 659-0750 or schedule online.
