FAQs

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection that affects the tissues and bones supporting your teeth. It starts with plaque buildup, which can lead to inflammation, gum recession, and, if untreated, tooth loss

You can prevent periodontal disease by maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine—brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using interdental brushes. Regular visits to the dentist for professional cleanings are also essential.

Common signs of periodontal disease include swollen or bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early detection can help prevent further damage.

Periodontal disease is diagnosed through a comprehensive examination, which includes assessing the gums, measuring pockets around teeth, and reviewing X-rays to determine bone loss.

Is Periodontal Disease Painful?

In its early stages, periodontal disease may not cause noticeable pain. However, as the condition progresses, you might experience symptoms such as swollen, bleeding gums, bad breath, and discomfort during chewing.

Yes, periodontal disease has been linked to various systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Maintaining good oral health is crucial for overall well-being.

Treatments for periodontal disease can range from deep cleaning procedures (such as scaling and root planing) to surgical options in more advanced cases. Your dentist will develop a tailored treatment plan based on your needs.

After periodontal treatment, maintaining a good oral hygiene routine at home—brushing twice daily, flossing, and using recommended dental aids—is essential to prevent recurrence and ensure optimal healing. Regular follow-ups will also be advised.
