Treating Gum Disease
If you notice that your gums bleed easily, or you are developing periodontal pockets below the gum line, or your gums are receding, get to Friendly Dentistry as soon as possible to get the care that you need. You will work closely with a dental professional that will design a custom treatment plan to deal with your swollen gums and get you back on track with your dental health.
Scaling and root planing, prescription mouthwash, good oral hygiene can all help to heal gum disease. The American Dental Association and Friendly Dentistry recommend you brush at least twice a day, using a fluoride toothpaste, floss and make sure you get between the teeth.
Typically the Dental Association recommends dental cleaning every 6 months to remove plaque and tartar at the gum line that brushing just cannot remove, but if you have gum disease part of your periodontology treatment plan may include more frequent cleaning to remove plaque. Tartar and plaque must be kept in check while you are going through treatments.
In severe cases the treatment will be more aggressive. Get the care that you deserve to avoid all the potential dangers of gum disease. Make your appointment today with Friendly Dentistry in Greensboro NC.
