Deal with the issues before gum disease can develop and lead to complications.
Gum disease is a silent disease, and if undetected or untreated, it can lead to situations such as foul breath, gaps appearing between the teeth, loose teeth and ultimately loss of affected teeth no matter how healthy the teeth themselves are at the time.
The gums and the supporting bone structure are the foundation for the teeth and if compromised, they shrink around the teeth offering less and less support as well as allowing food particles and plaque to be trapped more easily around and between the teeth, making daily oral hygiene much more challenging. This situation can exasperate the gum condition and cause cavities to form.
If there is a suspicion of underlying gum disease, your dentist at Hinterland View Dental will discuss with you the need to perform a detailed gum assessment to ascertain not only the teeth involved but also the severity of the condition, and will discuss with you treatment options depending on the evidence gathered.
This process will ensure your teeth, as well as their supporting foundation, are looked after in a controlled manner.
