One should keep an eye for the following symptoms for gum disease.

Gingivitis and Periodontist are two main gum disease. If not treated properly can cause serious damage to your oral health.

Tooth Decay is one of the main causes to gum disease. It is that sticky, clear film like structure on your teeth. It is made form million of bacteria growing on your teeth and gums. If you do not take care of your oral hygiene by brushing and flossing every day, it will create toxin. These toxins then create irritation leading to gum disease.

The sooner you get a treatment is better else if bacteria spread to bone you have only choice to seek dental restoration.

Gingivitis Scaling and Polishing: A Primary Treatment Method

Scaling and polishing the teeth is the first treatments for gum disease. This not only aids in the removal of current and new plaque but also tartar. Tartar is the hardened bacteria left behind by plaque accumulation.

This procedure is similar to brushing and flossing, with the added benefit of tartar removal. It’s a more thorough washing that helps to keep bacteria from infecting the gums and bones.

Special tools can be used by the dentist or dental hygienist to clean away these undesirable formations on the teeth. In case of good amount of tartar, you have to go flossing, scaling again and again.

Planning the Roots for a Deeper Clean

Your dentist may suggest root planning if the bacteria have penetrated deep into your teeth and down to the gums. This is also known as “debridement,” and it is a more extensive cleaning aimed at the teeth roots.

It can be a bit uncomfortable, as it involves digging deep into the inner workings of your affected tooth. However, it’s worth doing, because it cleans out all the bacteria and plaque deposited deep down your gums.

The cost of this dental treatment is not expensive. It is a pocket-friendly treatment. It cost less than the comfort you will feel after the treatment. The treatment is pain free and not too costly.
