Prevention and Treatment of Gum Disease
Periodontic Services in Georgetown
Gum disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is a serious oral health issue that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. At Georgetown Elite Dental & Implant Center, Dr. Saeid Abbasiyan and our team provide comprehensive gum disease therapy to prevent and treat these conditions. Gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease, is caused by plaque and tartar buildup and can result in red, swollen gums, sensitivity, bleeding when brushing, bad breath, and discomfort while chewing. If not addressed, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the gums recede from the teeth, creating pockets that may lead to tooth loss and bone damage.
Gum disease therapy typically involves deep cleaning treatments like scaling and root planing to remove tartar and infected tissue from the gum line. Risk factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, and certain medications increase the likelihood of developing gum disease. Regular check-ups and proper oral care are essential to preventing gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health.
