Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that affects many individuals. It ranges from simple gum inflammation, known as gingivitis, to more severe forms like periodontitis, which can lead to significant damage to the soft tissue and bone that support your teeth. At Allegra Dental, we believe in educating our patients about the causes, symptoms, and risks associated with gum disease to empower them in their oral health journey.

Symptoms and Causes

The primary cause of gum disease is plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If not removed through daily brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, further exacerbating gum inflammation. Symptoms of gum disease include:

Red, swollen, or tender gums
Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums
Loose or sensitive teeth

Our Treatment Approach

At Allegra Dental, we utilize state-of-the-art technology and treatment methods to combat gum disease. Our comprehensive treatment approach includes:

Professional Dental Cleanings: Removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line that regular brushing and flossing miss.
Scaling and Root Planing: A deep-cleaning, nonsurgical procedure, which involves scraping off the tartar from above and below the gum line, and smoothing out rough spots on the tooth root.
Medication: Depending on the severity, we may recommend medicinal treatments such as antimicrobial mouthwash or oral antibiotics.

Advanced Treatments

For advanced cases of periodontitis, we offer more intensive treatments:

Gum Graft Surgery: To cover exposed roots, reduce gum recession, and protect vulnerable roots from decay.
Flap Surgery: To lift back the gums and remove tartar deposits in deep pockets.
