Signs You May Need to Take Preventative Measures with Gum Therapy

Gum disease can develop slowly, and in its early stages, you may not even realize you have it. However, there are several signs that you may need gum therapy:

Red, swollen, or tender gums: Inflammation is one of the earliest signs of gum disease.
Bleeding gums: If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it could indicate gingivitis or a more advanced form of gum disease.
Receding gums: If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, this can lead to sensitivity and tooth loss if left untreated.
Persistent bad breath: Gum disease can cause chronic bad breath, even with regular brushing and flossing.
Loose teeth: In advanced stages of gum disease, teeth can become loose due to bone loss around the teeth.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us at (303) 586-6846 to schedule a consultation. Early treatment is critical to preventing more serious problems down the road.

Benefits of Gum Therapy at Espire Dental Broomfield

Investing in gum therapy has both immediate and long-term benefits:

Improved Oral Health: Treating gum disease prevents tooth loss and strengthens your smile.

Is gum therapy painful?

We do everything we can to ensure your comfort during gum therapy. For non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing, we may use a local anesthetic to numb the area so you won’t feel discomfort. Laser therapy is also designed to minimize pain and speed up healing.

How long does gum therapy take?

The length of treatment depends on the severity of your gum disease. Scaling and root planing may be completed in one or two visits, while more advanced cases may require surgical procedures or ongoing maintenance.

‍

Can gum disease be cured?

Gum disease can be managed, but it cannot be fully cured in its advanced stages. However, with regular gum therapy and maintenance, we can help you control the disease and prevent further damage.

What happens if I don’t treat gum disease?

Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and serious health problems like heart disease and diabetes. The sooner you seek treatment, the better the outcome.

Will my gums heal after gum therapy?

Yes, in many cases, the gums can heal after therapy. Non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing can help gums reattach to the teeth, while surgical treatments like gum grafting can restore lost tissue.

How often should I have periodontal maintenance?

After gum therapy, you’ll need to visit us more frequently for cleanings and checkups—typically every 3 to 4 months. This helps keep gum disease under control and prevents future problems.
