Is advanced gum disease treatment painful?
No, treatment should never be painful. We can offer a numbing cream for certain gum treatments to ensure you remain comfortable. For more advanced treatment, a local anaesthetic will be used. Inflamed gums can be uncomfortable, and you might find that brushing your teeth is painful when they are swollen and bleeding. Taking good care of your oral health and addressing this problem head on is one of the best ways to ensure caring for your teeth isn’t painful.
What is the best way to maintain healthy gums?
To maintain healthy gums, you need to follow an oral care routine at home that includes brushing and flossing daily. You also need to make sure that your brushing technique is reaching all parts of your mouth and that you are brushing for long enough. Alongside home care, you also need to make sure you are visiting the dentist regularly, for dental checkups and for dental hygiene cleanings. By paying close attention to your oral health, you can protect yourself against gum disease.
Can I have dental implants with advanced gum disease?
Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth following advanced gum disease. However, you would need to make sure this condition is under control before you can start the dental implant procedure. This is because active gum disease is a risk factor for implant failure, so it would be pointless to start this treatment without first addressing the gum disease. We can guide you through the process of getting your advanced gum disease under control before starting restorative treatment.
Is advanced gum disease curable?
This condition is manageable, but it is not curable once it reaches a certain point. If you have been told you have the early signs of gum disease, it is vital not to ignore or avoid treatment. Failure to address this condition in the early stages can result in more widespread damage further down the line.
