Periodontics
RESTORING GUM HEALTH
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases. At Uriel Dental Clinic, we specialize in treating bleeding gums, a common sign of gum disease, to help our patients achieve optimal oral health.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During your initial consultation, our periodontist will examine your gums and assess the extent of gum disease present. If bleeding gums are detected, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan to address the underlying cause and restore gum health. Our goal is to provide gentle and effective care to alleviate discomfort and prevent further progression of gum disease.
COMMON CAUSES OF BLEEDING GUMS
-
Gingivitis (early stage of gum disease)
-
Poor oral hygiene
-
Plaque and tartar buildup
-
Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy)
-
Medications that thin the blood
-
Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes)
-
Smoking and tobacco use
Identifying and addressing the underlying cause of bleeding gums is essential in preventing the progression of gum disease and maintaining optimal oral health.
Treating bleeding gums not only alleviates discomfort but also reduces the risk of more severe gum disease and tooth loss. By addressing the underlying cause of bleeding gums and restoring gum health, we can help our patients enjoy a healthier smile and improved overall well-being.
After receiving treatment for bleeding gums, it's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene practices and attend regular dental check-ups to prevent recurrence. Our periodontist will provide you with personalized aftercare instructions and guidance on how to keep your gums healthy between appointments.
Preventing bleeding gums starts with maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash can help remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to gum disease. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also essential in preventing gum problems and maintaining optimal oral health.
A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle can also play a significant role in preventing bleeding gums. Avoiding sugary snacks and beverages, quitting smoking, and managing stress can help reduce the risk of gum disease and promote gum health. Our team at Uriel Dental Clinic offers personalized advice on maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle to support your oral health.
