Signs of Gum Disease We Watch for at Espire Dental Westminster

Recognizing the early signs of gum disease is key to preventing further damage. You may need gum therapy if you experience any of the following:

Red, Swollen Gums: Healthy gums should be firm and pink. If your gums are red, swollen, or tender, it could be a sign of infection.
Bleeding Gums: If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, this may indicate gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease.
Persistent Bad Breath: Gum disease can cause chronic bad breath that doesn’t go away with brushing or mouthwash.
Receding Gums: Gum recession, where the gums pull away from the teeth, can expose the roots and lead to sensitivity and tooth loss.
Loose Teeth: Advanced gum disease can damage the bone and tissue supporting your teeth, causing them to become loose.

How do I know if I need gum therapy?

If you have symptoms like bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, it’s important to schedule an exam. Our team will assess your gums and recommend the appropriate treatment if needed.

Is gum therapy painful?

We take every step to ensure your comfort during gum therapy. Scaling and root planing, for example, is typically done under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Laser therapy is also known for its gentle approach and faster healing.

‍

ow long does scaling and root planing take?

The length of the procedure depends on the severity of the gum disease and the number of areas needing treatment. In many cases, we’ll treat one section of your mouth per visit, ensuring thorough care.

‍

Can gum disease be reversed?

In its early stages (gingivitis), gum disease is reversible with proper treatment and good oral hygiene. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can only be managed and controlled, not completely reversed.

‍

How often should I come in for periodontal maintenance?

Periodontal maintenance is typically scheduled every 3 to 4 months. This helps prevent the return of gum disease and keeps your gums healthy after treatment.

What happens if gum disease is left untreated?

Untreated gum disease can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss, bone damage, and even systemic health issues. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent these long-term effects.
