Understanding Periodontal Disease

Periodontal disease affects the gums and supporting tissues and, if left untreated, can cause tooth loss. Gingivitis, a mild form of gum inflammation, can progress to periodontitis.

Possible Signs of Periodontal Disease:

Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
Bad breath that persists
Receding gums
Teeth that are loose or shifting
The pain that occurs when chewing

Periodontal Treatment: Our Approach

Arverne Dental offers personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. Our goal is to restore healthy gums and stop further disease progression.

1. Comprehensive Examination: Dr. Lyuba Taft will conduct a comprehensive oral examination that includes x-rays, periodontal probing, and evaluating the health of your gingiva.

2. Scaling and Root Planing: This non-surgical deep cleaning method removes tartar and plaque below the gumline. It also smoothes the root of the teeth to encourage the gums to reattach.

3. Periodontal Maintenance: Regular cleanings of your periodontium will help to prevent the return of gum disease and keep your gums healthy.

4. Advanced Treatments: If periodontal disease is severe, advanced treatments may include surgical interventions such as pocket reduction surgery, gum grafts, or bone grafts.

How to Maintain Mealthy Gums and Prevent Periodontal Disease

The key to avoiding gum disease is prevention. Here are a few essential tips to maintain healthy gums.

Regularly Brush and Floss:
Brush your teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste at least twice daily.
Avoid gum irritation by using a toothbrush with a soft bristle.
Replace your toothbrush at least every 3-4 months or sooner if you notice that the bristles have frayed.
Use flossing daily to remove plaque between teeth and along the gumline.
Use Antimicrobial Mouthwash:
Use an anti-gingivitis or antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and bacteria.
To strengthen your teeth, choose a mouthwash containing fluoride.
Routine Cleanings and Checkups at the Dentist:
Regular dental cleanings are recommended every six months or more often if necessary.
Professional cleanings can remove plaque that flossing and brushing cannot.
Early detection of gum disease is possible with routine dental examinations.
Avoid Tobacco Products:
Gum disease is significantly increased by smoking and other tobacco products.
Stop smoking to protect the health of your gums.

Eat a Balanced Diet:
To support healthy gums, eat a diet high in vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruit and leafy vegetables, can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Avoid sugary drinks and snacks, as they can cause plaque to build up.
Stay Hydrated:
Water is essential to hydrate your mouth and remove food particles.
Saliva is also produced by water, and this protects the teeth and gums.
Monitor Your Gum Health:
Early signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, swelling, or persistent bad smell.
Schedule an appointment as soon as you notice symptoms.
Manage Stress:
Stress can cause your immune system to weaken, making it more difficult to fight infections such as gum disease.
Stress-reducing exercises include yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises.

You can reduce the risk of periodontal diseases by following these preventative steps and visiting your dentist regularly. Arverne Dental is located in Rockaway Beach, NY. Contact them today to book your next dental checkup and cleaning with Dr. Lyuba I. Tafft and her team.
