What Are The Causes of Gum Disease
The primary cause of this issue is plaque accumulation on the tooth surfaces. When plaque is not brushed away on a regular basis, it builds up and provides a growth medium for harmful oral bacteria. These bacteria not only affect the teeth by causing tooth decay but can also contribute to gum inflammation (gingivitis).
Gingivitis is the early phase of gum disease. If not addressed, it worsens over time. You may notice your gums becoming weak or pulling away from the tooth roots. To prevent tooth loss, bone loss, and other serious consequences, our Houston dentists recommend gum disease treatment at an early stage.
Signs of Gum Disease To Look Out For
Early signs of gum disease, such as mild redness and bleeding upon brushing, are often overlooked. If the condition worsens, it can lead to more severe symptoms such as:
- Gum inflammation or swelling
- Frequent gum bleeding (even without brushing)
- Gum recession
- Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
- Pain in the teeth and gums
- Difficulty chewing food
- Food trapping in gaps between teeth
- Bad breath or foul taste
- Loose or mobile teeth
If you or a family member has these symptoms, we urge you to seek gum disease treatment in Houston, TX, by our trusted dental professionals. It can save your natural teeth and help maintain your oral health.
Gum Disease Treatment Options
At the time of your consultation, our dentist will examine your gums and surrounding tissues to assess the extent of damage. We may also take dental X-rays to check if there has been any bone loss. After performing a detailed exam, we will determine the best treatment option for your oral needs.
If you have mild symptoms, they can be addressed with dental cleanings and routine oral care. However, we recommend deep cleaning (scaling and root planning) for patients with gum recession and early bone loss.
At the end of the procedure, our dentist may place topical antibiotics beneath the gum line to kill the remaining bacteria that may harm your gums.
