The Key to Defeating Gum Disease
Gum disease is the principal cause of tooth loss among adults in the UK, which highlights the importance of good gum care. At Jamil Dental, we are committed to battling gum disease and preserving teeth using various well-established techniques.
An initial check-up at Jamil Dental costs just £50, including X-rays. Once we know the scale of your problem, one of our experienced dentists will create a personalised dental care plan.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is fundamentally a disease that affects the tissues supporting the teeth, including gums and jaw bones. One of the major challenges is that gum disease often remains painless in its early stages, leading to many people losing their teeth despite receiving treatment.
The cornerstone of successful gum disease treatment in Hirwaun, Aberdare, is early detection. And that involves regular dental check-ups — performed by experienced dentists.
As periodontitis advances, patients can experience symptoms such as bad breath, swollen gums, pain and, ultimately, tooth loss. However, our highly skilled and dedicated team at Jamil Dental can prevent these issues with a proven course of treatment.
How to Spot Gum Disease:
- Bleeding gums, often intensified by brushing
- Swollen gums
- Redness of gums
- Gum tenderness
- Receding gums
- Pus discharge from the gums
- Painful swelling
- Loosened teeth
Prompt Intervention:
The primary cause of gum disease is plaque, a colourless film that coats your teeth. If plaque isn’t regularly eliminated, it hardens into a more stubborn substance called calculus (tartar). Bacteria grow quickly in unremoved plaque and tartar, resulting in toxins that can eventually destroy the supporting tissues around teeth.
Your body’s immune system attacks these toxins when present in your mouth. However, this defence mechanism also inadvertently harms oral tissues. As gum disease progresses, significant gaps form between the gums and teeth, causing teeth to loosen and eventually fall out.
Our Treatments
How is Gum Disease Treated?
Prevention is undoubtedly the best solution for gum disease. Regular dental check-ups at Jamil Dental will ensure potential issues are spotted and resolved before they can worsen and cause more serious problems.
Simple measures such as brushing twice daily, flossing and limiting sugary food and drink consumption can go a long way, but only an experienced dentist can provide comprehensive preventative treatment.
What Happens if Gum Disease Is Advanced?
In severe cases, surgical periodontal treatment may be warranted. This might entail the use of specialised tools to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from deep pockets, smoothing root surfaces and modifying the gums’ shape to facilitate easier cleaning.
