Gum Diseases And their treatment in brief

[Dr Pushpinder Singh Ahuja]

Gum disease is generally not curable but it is both treatable and more importantly, preventable. The best way to prevent gum disease is to see your dentist and dental hygienist for an exam and cleaning on a regular basis. At home, brush twice daily and clean between your teeth once daily. If you do not like dental floss or find it hard to use, other products have been shown to work as well and may be easier for you to use. These include floss holders, interdental brushes, and a Water Flosser.[/size]Early stages of gum disease such as gingivitis are reversible with a thorough dental cleaning and good daily home care. However, if you prolong the time between dental visits or fail to brush well or clean between your teeth, gingivitis will return.With gum or periodontal disease, there are varying treatments depending upon the severity of the condition. Early stages can be treated with a dental hygiene therapy called scaling and root planing. A general cleaning or prophy is not a appropriate at this stage and will not remedy the situation. A more severe case of periodontal disease may need treatment by a specialist called a periodontist.
