Periodontal Treatment for Gum Disease

Periodontal treatment Watchung New Jersey Gum disease is a common problem, and to make matters worse, many people don't even know they have it. Do you experience bleeding gums when you brush? Do your gums look bright red or reddish purple? Are they sensitive to the touch or swollen? These are just some of the symptoms of gum disease. However, some people with gum disease don't show any symptoms at all, and this is why it is so important to get checked for gum disease regularly. If you have developed gum disease, Green Brook dentist Dr. Reilly can perform periodontal treatment to help reverse the effects and bring your gums back to good health.

During periodontal treatment, we will remove plaque and debris that may have become lodged deep within the pockets surrounding the base of your teeth. By detoxifying the area, inflammation should go down. Afterward, practicing thorough oral hygiene at home including flossing and visiting Dr. Reilly twice a year for general dental checkups will help prevent further complications from gum disease. By catching gum disease in its earliest stages, you can avoid advanced gum disease, known as periodontitis.

If left untreated, gum disease can cause loosening of teeth and, eventually, tooth loss. And gum disease has been linked to more serious health problems including stroke and heart disease.
