If you’re told you have periodontal disease, At CQ Dental Studio we may propose a range of treatments. The latest guidelines on periodontal treatment suggest a stepwise approach to treatment. So, depending on your disease stage and grade we may increase “step up” or decrease “step down” your treatment until your gums are healthy.

First, a discussion about the causes of periodontitis, the goals of treatment and possible outcomes is held. The key to success is to understand dental plaque. This is the cause of the disease. It is also important to understand the factors that influence your body’s reaction to this plaque. These factors can include smoking, diabetes, and others. These factors need to be controlled.

Gum disease is extremely common in Australia, with as many as three in every 10 adults having moderate to severe gum disease.

This issue can be uncomfortable and very damaging for your oral and general health if left untreated, which is why you should take steps to avoid it as much as possible and treat it as soon as it occurs to avoid further problems. This will help keep your smile healthy and happy, so you can get on with life.

If you have severe gum disease (also known as periodontal disease), Our Dental hygienist may recommend that you undergo gum surgery.

What is gum disease?

Periodontitis – commonly known as gum disease – is when the gums and tissues around your teeth become infected. It comes in two forms: gingivitis and periodontitis.

Gingivitis is both more common and milder. This is when your gums become red and swollen, and you may even notice that they bleed a little when you’re brushing your teeth. The good news is that with good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing, you can reverse gingivitis and re-establish a healthy smile.

The second type is periodontitis, and this is basically an evolved version of gingivitis. Periodontitis occurs when gingivitis is left untreated and can become quite serious. In this case, the red and infected gums of gingivitis get progressively worse to a point where the bone is damaged as well. Eventually, enough bone can be lost, that the teeth can get loose and sore, and may even need to be removed.

Unfortunately, periodontitis cannot be fully cured, only managed, so it is very important to avoid allowing gingivitis to reach that stage.
