Gingivitis Symptoms and Treatment
Overview
Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a widespread condition affecting about one-third of adults and over half of those above 50.
Symptoms
Gingivitis presents several symptoms, including swollen and red gums, tenderness while chewing, and the presence of pus around the teeth. You might notice a bad taste in your mouth, visible tartar, or even blood on your toothbrush. If untreated, gingivitis can progress to affect the bone that supports your teeth, leading to loose teeth and severe infections.
Prevention and Treatment
Early detection makes gingivitis treatment highly effective. The best strategy is prevention, which includes regular brushing and tartar removal. Don’t forget to scrape your tongue to eliminate bacteria. These steps are crucial for maintaining oral hygiene and preventing gum disease. Treating gingivitis can also address issues like receding gums, bleeding, and canker sores.
Advanced Treatment
For more severe cases, a non-antibiotic approach targets the infection. After scaling, a compound is applied to affected areas, binding to harmful bacteria and their toxins. Laser light enhances this process, using a fiber optic probe to destroy bacteria and toxins such as collagenase.
Periowave is an innovative treatment using photodynamic disinfection to combat periodontal diseases. Developed by Professor Michael Wilson and his team at the Eastman Dental Institute, London, this method is a licensed technology offering a powerful alternative to traditional treatments.
By staying proactive with your oral care, you can effectively manage and prevent gingivitis.
