Gum Disease

Dealing with gum disease can feel like a losing battle, but at Moores Chapel Dentistry, we're here to help you turn the tide.

Gum disease (also known as periodontal disease) is more common than you might think—affecting nearly half of adults over the age of 30. The good news? It's treatable, especially when caught early.

What Is Gum Disease?

periodontal treatments

Gum disease starts as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums). You might notice bleeding when brushing or flossing—think of it as your gums waving a red flag.

Left unchecked, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the infection impacts deeper tissues, including bone, causing teeth to loosen and, in severe cases, fall out.

Causes of Gum Disease

  • Plaque buildup: A sticky film of bacteria forms on teeth when oral hygiene slips.
  • Smoking: One of the biggest risk factors.
  • Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and other life stages.
  • Genetics: Sometimes, it just runs in the family.

Common Symptoms of Gum Disease

  • Bleeding gums
  • Bad breath (even after brushing)
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Loose teeth or gum recession

Why Treat Gum Disease?

Letting gum disease linger isn't just a dental issue—it's tied to broader health problems like heart disease and diabetes.

By addressing it early with regular checkups, deep cleanings, and fluoride treatments, you're not only saving your smile but also boosting overall health.

Treatments for Gum Disease

At Moores Chapel Dentistry, we offer personalized gum disease treatments:

  • Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing): Think of it as a deep scrub for your gums.
  • Antibiotics: Sometimes, bacteria need a little more convincing to leave.
  • Surgical options: In advanced cases, surgery may be necessary to restore gum health.

Preventing Gum Disease

Prevention is key! Regular dental exams and cleanings are your first line of defense against gum disease.
