Why Should You Get Treatment For Gum Disease At
The Earliest?

There are numerous people who complain of
periodontal gum problems. While the extent of
damage might vary from person to person, the
procedure for treatment of the problem should be
undertaken as early as possible.
The main objective of the treatment for gum
diseases is to prevent the onset of permanent
tissue damage, controlling infection and also the
prevention of tooth loss. There are definitely
some things that can be undertaken on your behalf
to make the treatment effective. Based on the
severity of the gum diseases, dentists usually
suggest a treatment plan that works well for the
patients.

Treatment of Gingivitis
Gingivitis is a mild form of the gum disease that
can get complicated unless taken care of at the
right time. A series of non-surgical procedures
are used to repair the damage caused to the gums.
Since the damage to the gums is not permanent or
irreversible at this stage, it is possible to
repair the damage and return the gums to their
original form. The dentist undertakes treatments
such as scaling and root planning, which are
usually completed within a time frame of 3-4
sittings. After the cleaning of the tartar and
plaque from the teeth, it is necessary that
patients take good care of their teeth and gums,
brushing twice daily and flossing on an everyday
basis. After the treatment for gingivitis is
completed, dentists often suggest the use of a
mouthwash or pills that might be useful for
avoiding any pain or discomfort. Dentists also,
sometimes, prescribe the intake of certain
antibiotics for use. These help in fighting a
variety of infections. Doctors might also suggest
the use of anti-bacterial toothpaste after
undergoing the gingivitis treatment.

Treatment for Periodontitis
When we ignore the onset of gingivitis and do not
undergo treatment for it, it, often, aggravates
further and leads to periodontitis. At this time,
the infection spreads fast to the surrounding
areas and soon reaches the gums and teeth
surrounding the infected area. To stop the onset
of the damage, it is necessary to get immediate
treatment for the same. The dentists undertake an
advanced stage of scaling and planning of the
root canal. Doctors prescribe antibiotics to
prevent the build up of bacteria in the teeth.
Certain pills or capsules are also inserted
inside the pockets of the gums. If these
treatments do not work towards fixing the damage
to the teeth, it is necessary that one undergoes
surgical procedures to fix the damage that has
been caused to the gums.
