Title: Receding Gums - Prevention & Treatment by Dentist in Brampton Ontario


1
Receding Gums - Prevention Treatment by
Dentist in Brampton Ontario
Gingivitis, or gum disease, occurs when the gum
tissue that encircles the teeth recedes, exposing
more of the tooth's surface or the root. Harmful
germs can grow quickly because of the gaps
between the teeth and gum line due to gum
recession. Without any treatment, the teeth
supporting tissues and bone structures might be
severely damaged, resulting in tooth loss if
left untreated. Many people have receding gums.
Due to its slow onset, the gum recession goes
unnoticed by the majority of the population.
Dental discomfort or the appearance of a longer
tooth are the most common symptoms of gum
recession. It's common to feel a little nick
around the gum line. You don't want to neglect
gum recession. Make an appointment with your
dentist in Brampton Ontario, if you notice that
your gums are receding. Gum disease can be
reversed or prevented with the use of several
dental treatments. Causes for gum recession? It
is possible to have receding gums due to a
variety of causes, including Infection of the
gums - These are bacterial infections of the gums
and bone that keep your teeth in place and can
lead to tooth loss. There is a link between gum
disease and receding gums.

Inheritance - Gum disease can be a problem for
certain people. Gum disease can affect up to 30
of the population, no matter how well they brush
and floss their teeth. Tooth brushing with
ferociousness. It is possible to damage your
teeth and gums by brushing them too hard or the
wrong way. The lack of dental care - The
accumulation of plaque on teeth and between teeth
can only be eliminated by a professional dental
cleaning if you don't brush, floss, and rinse
your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash. Gum
recession might occur as a result. Hormonal
shifts - In adolescence, pregnancy, and
menopause, a woman's hormone levels might
fluctuate, making her gums more sensitive and
subject to receding gums. Products derived from
tobacco - People who smoke are more likely to
develop hard-to-reach plaque on their teeth that
can lead to gum recession. Your teeth are
clenched and you're grinding your teeth. Gum
recession can occur as a result of clenching or
grinding your teeth. A crooked or uneven jaw -
Gingivitis occurs when teeth don't come together
evenly, which can lead to receding gums. A
piercing of the mouth or tongue. Jewelry can
cause gum tissue to be worn away by rubbing
against the gums and irritating them. How Do You
Treat Gum Recession? A deep cleaning by your
dentist may be all that is needed to address some
cases of gum recession. A procedure is known as
tooth scaling and root planning is performed to
remove plaque and tartar that have built up on
the teeth and root surfaces below the gum
line. The exposed root region is then polished
to make germs more difficult to adhere to. Any
residual dangerous bacteria may also be treated
with antibiotics. It may be necessary to have
gum surgery if your gum recession cannot be cured
with deep cleaning because of excessive bone
loss and too deep pockets. Also, read - Home
Remedies for Gum Disease What is the best
dentist in Brampton's procedures for the
treatment of gum recession? Gum recession can be
treated surgically using the methods listed below

Scaling and root planning with an open flap
After removing the dangerous germs from the
pockets, the dentist or periodontist (gum doctor)
fixes the gum tissue in a snug position over the
tooth root, thus eliminating or lowering the
pockets' size. Bone and tissue regenerative
procedures may be indicated in the event that gum
recession has affected the bone and tissue that
support your teeth. As with reducing the depth of
the pockets, your dentist will remove the germs
by folding back the gum tissue. It will then be
administered to the affected region with the help
of a regeneration substance, such as a
tissue-stimulating protein or a graft membrane.
In order to protect the root of the tooth/teeth,
the gum tissue is placed over it once the
regenerative material has been inserted. The
most frequent form of gum tissue graft treatment
is termed a connective tissue graft, although
there are many more. They suture it back in place
as soon as they remove the connective tissue
(transplant). Another form of transplant, known
as a free gingival graft, uses tissue extracted
directly from the roof of the mouth rather than
from beneath the skin. Suppose adequate gum
tissue is present around the damaged teeth. In
that case, the dentist may be able to transplant
gum from the area around the tooth and not take
tissue from the palate. A pedicle graft is what
we're doing here. It's up to your dentist to
determine which method is most suited to your
unique situation.
