Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque and tartar buildup around the teeth, leading to gum inflammation, infection, and tissue damage. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, and genetics can also increase the risk.
Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, can often be reversed with professional cleanings and consistent oral hygiene. However, advanced stages like periodontitis require specialized care to manage effectively.
Modern periodontal treatments are designed to minimize discomfort. With the use of advanced tools, gentle techniques, and anesthesia, most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure.
Prevent gum disease by brushing and flossing daily, scheduling regular dental checkups, and avoiding tobacco products. A healthy diet and professional cleanings also play a key role in maintaining gum health.
A periodontist is a dental specialist who diagnoses and treats gum disease, places dental implants, and manages conditions affecting the bone and tissues supporting your teeth. They handle advanced cases such as severe periodontitis, gum grafting, and pocket reduction surgery.
