How do you tackle gum diseases

What is gum disease?

Gum disease turns on with redness and swelling of the gums. It is because of the food particles left over teeth that have not been cleared due to the absence of adequate brushing.

What are the symptoms of gum disease?

• Swollen and bright red gums.
• Bleeding while brushing or even chewing.
• Bad breath.
• Sore gums.
• Subsiding gums.
• Terrible taste in the mouth.

What happens if gum disease is not treated properly?

Gums further reside. They start receding or start losing the bone support or a combination of both happens. If still left untreated, the bone support further reduces and teeth start shifting. By this stage, the harm has become irreversible and hopeless in some circumstances. When it further deteriorates and is left alone or untreated, the teeth will either get detached or have to be removed by the dentist.

Few tips to keep your gums healthy.

Brushing

Brushing the teeth adequately is crucial to have a healthy mouth and gums. The health ministry of India recommends that people follow the guidelines below:

• Brush twice a day at least using a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
• Replace the toothbrush after every 4 months, or sooner if the bristles begin to shred.
• Brush the teeth at a 45-degree angle to the gums.
• Move the toothbrush in quick strokes.
• Clasp gently.
• Clean the insides of the front teeth by twisting the brush vertically and making numerous quick strokes along each tooth.

Floss

• Floss at least once a day.
• Flossing helps to eliminate the food particles that are beyond your toothbrush’s scope.
• The promising time to floss your teeth is just before getting on the bed.

How laser treatment works in gum disease treatment?

The laser helps in the reduction of infected tissue and also sterilizes the gum tissue of any dangerous bacteria. This also initiates the re-attachment of gums firmly to the tooth surface. This leads to quick healing and strong gums.

Benefits of Laser Gum Treatment

• No irritation – Laser gum treatment is very comfortable than traditional gum treatments.
• Quick recovery – Laser gum surgery can take less recovery time than surgical gum treatment as surrounding healthy areas are left untouched.
• Limited restrictions – Traditional treatment requires a soft diet for a couple of weeks after the procedure but with laser treatment, you may require only a couple of days and most patients feel healthy enough to resume eating right after treatment.
• Less meddling – There are no stitches and no/minimal bleeding during the procedure.
• Safe – Safe in all kinds of patients, even in patients with diabetes, haemophilia, and HIV.
