It is imperative to monitor any signs of gum disease. Allow the periodontist make an early diagnosis can mean the difference between treatment and non-surgical periodontal surgery full of gum. The symptoms that we must not lose sight of are:
dental pain;
Gums that bleed to brush or cleaned with dental floss;
more space between the teeth;
gums that are inflamed or sensitive;
gums that seem to retract, making their teeth appear longer;
persistent bad breath;
formation of pus between the teeth;
changes in occlusion and the way the teeth fit together;
sores in the mouth.
In case you diagnose gum disease, the periodontist may recommend a non-surgical periodontal treatment. For advanced cases, surgery may be necessary for the gum. The most important factor in the treatment options available to you is the speed with which it was detected gum disease and the speed with which it progresses.
Usually, gingivitis is reversible with a non-surgical treatment. Recently, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of the United States) approved the Decapinol, the first mouthwash prescribed to reduce gingivitis. The Decapinol, when used twice daily, acts as a barrier that inhibits the ability of bacteria to adhere to the tooth surface.
Other non-surgical periodontal treatments include scraping and smoothing. This method of periodontal treatment cleans the surface of the stem to remove the deposit of plaque and tartar. After that, antibiotics can be administered in locally to eliminate the remaining bacteria.
Gum disease often requires advanced surgery, periodontal (of gum). Gum surgery becomes the only viable periodontal treatment once the tissue around the teeth is too ill to repair it with a non-surgical treatment. The four types of surgery of the gum that are recommended most frequently are:
procedures for the reduction of the bag;
regenerative procedures;
crown lengthening;
soft tissue grafts.
