Gum infection treatment
Gum infection is caused by accumulation of plaque and bacteria on the teeth. Even patients who brush and floss diligently can develop gum infection in hard-to-reach areas. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is important to have a dentist to check whether you need treatment.
- Bleeding gums
- Red, swollen gums
- Pain when biting
- long-looking teeth with roots exposed
- bad breath
- abscess (pimple) around the gums
- loose teeth
Over time, untreated gum infection will cause periodontal disease which is irreversible damage to the bones and gums surrounding the teeth. No matter how healthy the tooth is, if the surrounding structures are not healthy, there will be infection, pain and the tooth will become loose; making gum disease the number one cause of tooth loss for adults! Moreover, gum disease is a strong contributor to heart diseases and chronic illnesses, so it is important to keep our mouths healthy to keep our body healthy.
At My Eastwood Dentist, we pride ourselves on providing quality dental check-ups and preventative care which is the most effective safeguard against periodontal disease.
