Combat Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that can lead to tooth loss and affect your overall health. Early detection and professional dental care at Cure Dental are crucial to prevent complications and keep your smile healthy and vibrant-two of our biggest goals!
Common Causes and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease is often caused by plaque buildup from inadequate oral hygiene. Smoking, certain medications, and genetic factors can also contribute to its development. Early symptoms include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession.
As the disease progresses, you might notice loose teeth or changes in your bite. Recognising these signs early and seeking dental care can prevent further damage and restore your gum health.
How Our Team Can Help
Our Parramatta dentists play a vital role in diagnosing and treating gum disease at every stage. Regular professional cleanings can remove plaque and tartar buildup while scaling and root planing treatments address deeper pockets of infection. For advanced cases, we may recommend laser therapy or surgery to restore gum health.
Preventative Measures and Daily Tips
Preventing gum disease starts with good oral hygiene: brush and floss daily, and use an antimicrobial mouthwash. Quit smoking and maintain a healthy diet to support gum health. Regular dental check-ups are essential for early detection and intervention, keeping your gums and teeth in top condition.
