Toms Dental Floss

So I am suffering with disease of the gums, what do I do?

Well, it seems that you are in good company, since it is believed that almost all adults will be affected by gum disease at some point during their lives. Regrettably, the Tom’s River area is no different. It is essential to gain control over this soon to avoid the condition becoming aggravated.

Inflammation of the gums is termed gingivitis or gum disease, and the culprit, more often than not, is plaque. This is the first and easiest to treat stage of gum disease. Gingivitis is the phase where gums are swollen or even infected, yet the area around it isn’t yet involved.

Generally, gingivitis resembles red-tinged, even purplish inflamed gums. They may be prone to bleeding, particularly when brushed. The presence of blood during the process of teeth brushing is one very common warning that gum disease is developing. Sometimes gums that have infections have a shiny appearance, and hang back somewhat from the teeth. Frequently touching them causes pain.

Gum disease typically results from plaque, yet it may be caused by injury to teeth, sharp edges or problems with dental work. If plaque is not removed from the teeth, it hardens to form tartar or calculus. This hard compound speeds up the rate of decay, not to mention it causes gum irritation both at and below the gum line. Gingivitis, left untreated, can morph into periodontitis, a more serious gum disease.

In professional dental services in New Jersey, procedure for treating gum disease is as follows:

- we shall inform you about proper brushing and flossing techniques
- tell you to quit smoking
- remove tartar through scaling and planing
- book you for regular cleanings and exams

Scaling and planing involves deep cleaning of the teeth above and below the gum line. Special instruments will be used by our hygienist to remove the tartar from your teeth and then smooth any rough edges to decrease irritation. In case this process sounds frightening or intimidating, inquire how we can ease your discomfort, with sedation for instance.

Gum disease happens a lot, but it can be serious if you do not treat it. As soon as you notice bleeding or painful gums, please contact your dentist.
