Gum disease, often unnoticed until it becomes severe, poses a significant threat to oral health. At Inland Dental Group, we emphasize the importance of early detection, prevention, and innovative treatment options to combat this prevalent issue.
Spotting the Early Signs of Gum Disease
The initial stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, often presents subtle symptoms. Early signs include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums, especially during brushing or flossing. Bad breath that doesn’t go away and gum recession are also common early indicators. Recognizing these signs is crucial for prompt treatment.
The Importance of Prevention
Preventing gum disease is far more manageable than treating advanced stages. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential. At home, maintaining good oral hygiene with thorough brushing and flossing is key. Additionally, lifestyle factors such as a balanced diet and quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk of developing gum disease.
Innovative Treatments at Inland Dental Group
At Inland Dental Group, we utilize the latest advancements in dental care for effective gum disease treatment. This includes deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing, where plaque and tartar are meticulously removed from above and below the gum line. For advanced cases, we offer innovative treatments such as laser therapy, which effectively targets and removes diseased tissue with minimal discomfort and quicker healing times.
The Role of Regular Dental Visits
Regular dental visits play a pivotal role in both preventing and managing gum disease. During these visits, our team can detect early signs of gum disease and provide appropriate interventions.
