Is Gum Disease Curable? Treatment for Periodontal disease | Delhi Dentist

Gum disease is a silent disease. This is because it doesn’t typically cause pain, so you may never you know you have it.

Gum disease is caused by plaque, which is basically bacteria. This is how gum disease develops:

When you don’t clean around your teeth optimally, bacteria and food debris start to accumulate.
As times goes on, the bacteria build up further and mature into more complex organisms, forming more advanced structures.

Signs Of Gum Disease ;

Here are some of the most common signs of gum disease. Do be aware that some of these signs may only become apparent towards the later stages:

Bleeding gums , Bad breath , Loose teeth , Drifting of teeth , Gum recession , Gum abscesses

For advanced gum disease, this is what we normally do:

Record pocketing levels six points around each tooth.
Record plaque levels and bleeding levels.
Clean underneath the gums.
Wait for a period of time to allow the gums to heal. In this period regular maintenance is needed, which involves lightly cleaning above the gum.
We record points one and two again to see the difference.
We clean underneath the gums once more at the sites that haven’t healed.
Wait a few months to check healing.

Once the pocket depths have improved and you are able to maintain this at home, we would put you on a recall interval which will depend upon your risk factor.

High – three months

Medium – six months

Low – possibly yearly

How To Prevent Gum Disease
The trick is to maintain a good level of hygiene on a daily basis. Refrain from smoking and ensure you see a good hygienist on a regular basis (ideally at least every six months).
