Find the answers you’ve been searching for regarding gum disease treatments at our dental practice in Wolverhampton! We believe an informed patient is a happy patient, so do get in touch if you would like to find out more about our treatments.
The most notable signs of gum disease are red, swollen, or puffy gums that are sensitive to touch or when chewing. They might bleed when you brush your teeth and you might also notice them receding from the base of your teeth. Gum disease is easily preventable with the correct care and treatment, so it’s best to seek professional help from one of our Wolverhampton dentists if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
Plaque is created by improper cleaning, which lets germs and bacteria build up and cause cavities and gum disease. Tartar occurs when this plaque hardens, and attaches to your enamel, threatening your dental health.
At our Wolverhampton dental practice, we recommend booking an appointment with a dental hygienist between 2 – 4 times a year. This ensures we can monitor any changes and symptoms together and work towards achieving and maintaining healthier gums.
Gum disease is very easily prevented with the correct dental care. Ensuring that you brush and floss your teeth twice a day is essential to keeping gum disease at bay. Some antiseptic mouthwashes may also help with preventing gum disease whilst targeting the unwanted bacteria in your mouth. In addition to routine at-home care, you should visit one of our Wolverhampton dentists or hygienists twice a year for professional cleanings and recommendations.
There are certain lifestyle factors and individual considerations that contribute to the development of gum disease. These include smoking, diabetes, a family history of the disease, high stress levels, and even some medication.
