Development of gum disease
Bacteria feed on sugars in bits of food debris trapped between teeth and in plaque. As they eat, they excrete toxins that cause gum tissue to pull away from teeth.Gum disease is measured by the attachment of gums to teeth. If four millimeters of gum tissue at the edges is not firmly sealed to teeth, you have gingivitis. The most noticeable symptom is bleeding gums. Gambrills patients can avoid more serious forms of gum disease by seeking treatment promptly.
Untreated, the condition progresses into periodontitis, creating pockets of five millimeters or greater. You cannot clean these pockets with brushing and flossing. You may experience chronic bad breath, tooth sensitivity, and decay. Teeth become loose, and eventually fall out or have to be extracted.
The best solution for gum disease is prevention through good oral hygiene. However it is never too late to begin treatment.

Treatment for healthy gums
Your first step toward healthy gums is scheduling a consultation. If you have gum disease, your Gambrills dentist will schedule scaling and root planing, which removes plaque and tartar from pockets and smooths tooth roots. It is vital to maintain frequent hygiene recalls, every three to four months.Understanding Gum Disease - Types, Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
