Understanding Gum Disease and Its Impact
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection affecting the tissues surrounding your teeth. It begins as gingivitis, characterized by inflammation, redness, and bleeding of the gums. Without proper treatment, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and ultimately, tooth loss. This condition not only impacts your oral health but has been linked to serious systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.
The good news is that gum disease can be effectively treated, especially when caught early. Professional intervention from the team at Esteem Dental in Orlando can stop disease progression and help restore gum health through targeted therapies tailored to your specific condition.
Signs You May Need Gum Disease Treatment
Recognizing the early warning signs of periodontal problems can lead to more effective and less invasive treatments. Be aware of symptoms such as bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath that doesn’t improve with brushing, swollen or tender gums, receding gum lines, loose teeth, or changes in how your teeth fit together when biting.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s vital you schedule a comprehensive oral health assessment at our Lake Nona office. Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the severity of gum disease and develop a customized treatment plan.
Professional Treatment Options for Gum Disease
At Esteem Dental, we offer non-surgical, laser, and surgical solutions for managing your gum disease.
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
For early to moderate gum disease, non-surgical approaches are often highly effective. Professional dental cleaning removes plaque and calculus from visible portions of your teeth. When deeper cleaning is needed, scaling and root planing becomes the treatment of choice.
This deep cleaning procedure removes bacterial toxins and tartar from below the gum line while smoothing root surfaces to discourage future bacterial attachment. Our dental team at Esteem Dental may also recommend antimicrobial medications to control bacterial growth and reduce inflammation in the periodontal pockets.
Advanced Treatments for Severe Periodontitis
When gum disease has progressed to more advanced stages, our Orlando practice offers specialized treatments to address bone loss and significant gum recession. Periodontal pocket reduction procedures help eliminate bacteria-harboring spaces between teeth and gums, while gum grafting can restore areas where tissue has receded.
For patients with anxiety about dental procedures, we offer comfort amenities including TVs, refreshments, and music during your visit. Our offices are designed to provide a relaxing environment with a variety of amenities, ensuring your comfort throughout even the most complex periodontal procedures.
Innovative Laser Gum Therapy
Esteem Dental stays at the forefront of periodontal care by offering laser gum therapy as a less invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods. This advanced technique enables the precise treatment of infected tissue, promoting faster healing and reduced discomfort compared to conventional surgery.
The targeted nature of laser therapy preserves more healthy tissue while effectively addressing the bacterial infection, making it an excellent option for many patients with moderate to advanced periodontal disease.
Comprehensive Dental Care for Every Member of Your Family
From preventive checkups to complete smile makeovers, our experienced team provides personalized care in a welcoming environment.
Comprehensive Periodontal Maintenance
Successfully managing gum disease requires ongoing care beyond the initial treatment phase. Our team creates personalized periodontal maintenance programs to help prevent reinfection and disease progression.
These programs typically include more frequent professional cleanings, detailed at-home care instructions, and regular assessments to monitor gum health. For patients who have experienced bone loss, we offer stabilization techniques for loose teeth and may recommend dental implants when tooth loss has occurred.
