If you notice any periodontal gum disease symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact our team of trained professionals here at Cypress Family Dental. Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which, in addition to being painful, can gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Gingivitis is considered a mild form of periodontal disease, but can still be a very painful and unpleasant experience. In a patient with gingivitis, the gums become red and inflamed. The gums may also be painfully swollen and recede, and bleeding is very common. While the treatments for periodontal disease may vary, the general causes stay the same. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in most afflicted individuals. Plaque is colorless, so it can be hard to identify the buildup before the individual begins experiencing gum pain or other signs of gum disease. When plaque hardens on a tooth, it becomes known as tartar. Tartar is impossible for individuals to remove by themselves, so contact Cypress Family Dental if you encounter any. Our trained professionals will clean and remove the tartar for you, hopefully stopping the gum disease in its early stages and formulating a gum disease treatment plan for you. The best way to prevent gum disease is with a proper tooth brushing and flossing technique.
