Benefits of Gum Therapy at Espire Dental

At Espire Dental CO Springs, our gum therapy treatments are designed to restore your oral health and protect your smile from further damage. Here’s why gum therapy is so important:

  • Prevent Tooth Loss: Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. By treating the disease early, we can help you avoid serious complications and preserve your natural teeth.
  • Protect Your Overall Health: Gum disease has been linked to several systemic health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Treating and preventing gum disease can help lower your risk for these conditions, improving your overall well-being.
  • Reverse Gum Disease: In its early stages, gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene. Our personalized gum therapy plans can help you restore your gum health and prevent the progression of periodontal disease.
  • Maintain a Beautiful Smile: Healthy gums are essential for a beautiful smile. Gum disease can lead to gum recession and bone loss, which can affect your smile's appearance and oral health. Our expert care helps you maintain the integrity of your smile for years to come.

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is caused by plaque and bacteria buildup along the gumline. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and genetic factors can increase the risk of developing gum disease.

How can I prevent gum disease?

To prevent gum disease, brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist for regular cleanings. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco use can significantly reduce your risk.

Does gum disease cause bad breath?

Yes, persistent bad breath (halitosis) is one of the common signs of gum disease. Treating gum disease can help eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Is gum disease reversible?

In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, more advanced treatment is required to manage the condition and prevent further damage.

How often should I have periodontal maintenance cleanings?

After gum therapy, most patients benefit from periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months to prevent the advancement of gum disease.

What are the signs of gum disease?

Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen gums, bleeding during brushing or flossing, gum recession, bad breath, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a dental appointment as soon as possible.
