GUM TREATMENT
Don't let gum problems ruin your smile.
Our gums say a lot about our oral health. Gums that are red, swollen or bleeding are common telltale signs of gum or periodontal disease.
Many people suffer from gum disease. Prolonged tartar buildup can eventually cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). Gingivitis causes swollen gums that bleed easily whilst brushing teeth. Simple treatment, together with changes in oral hygiene habits, will cure and reverse this disease. In susceptible patients, gingivitis may eventually progress to a more serious condition called periodontitis.

disease.
Periodontitis causes teeth to gradually lose support and it is the most common cause of tooth loss among adults. People are mostly unaware that they have severe gum disease because it usually progresses without pain.
Your dentist and hygienist can detect early signs of gum disease and help prevent its progression. Patients with periodontitis are often referred to a specialist periodontist or gum specialist.
When gums shrink or pull away, the teeth often look longer as more of the root surfaces of the teeth are exposed. This is called gum recession
