  1. BLUE TURTLE DENTAL Gingivitis Vs. Periodontitis: What You Need To Know About Gum Health

  2. WELCOME TO OUR DENTAL CLINIC

  3. INTRODUCTION You have probably heard the terms “Periodontitis” and “Gingivitis” before. They both refer to dental ● problems, but what precisely do they mean? In simple terms, they are stages of the same condition: gum disease. ●

  4. GINGIVITIS: THE FIRST STAGE OF GUM DISEASE Gum disease is highly prevalent in the US. According to the CDC, 50% of adults age 30+ suffer ● from some level of gum disease. If not addressed early, gingivitis can turn out to be a serious form of oral disease. ● Besides poor oral health, several other things can lead to gingivitis. Medications, diabetes, ● tobacco use, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes are among the prevalent causes.

  5. PERIODONTITIS: ADVANCED GUM DISEASE Periodontitis is a severe gum infection that harms the soft tissue and may even tear down the bone ● that anchors your teeth. Periodontitis can easily cause tooth loss and has been associated with an increased risk of stroke ● or heart attack. Symptoms of periodontitis may include loose teeth, bad breath, gums that pull away from your ● teeth, pus between teeth and gums, and swollen teeth. If you discern any of the symptoms mentioned above, it is advisable to see your Redwood City ● dentist immediately.

  6. TREATMENT FOR GINGIVITIS You must pay attention to your oral care routine if gingivitis is detected. ● Brush your teeth twice a day with a dentist-recommended toothpaste and floss at least once a day to ● get rid of debris and plaque from your teeth’s surfaces. Also, avoid using tobacco, which can not only lead to gum disease but aggravate its symptoms. ● Lastly, the importance of a professional cleaning conducted by the best dentist in Redwood City ● cannot go unmentioned.

  7. TREATMENT FOR PERIODONTITIS Scaling and root planing – A type of deep cleaning that gets rid of plaque and tartar ● developing above and below the gum line. Antibiotic therapy – Non-surgical procedure for healing oral infections following a deep ● cleaning. Gum grafting – Surgical procedure that entails replacing dead tissue via donated material. ●

  8. CONCLUSION The sooner your gum disease symptoms are addressed, the better! Gum disease doesn’t just fade away with time, particularly in the case of periodontitis. Remember, if you notice anything unusual with your teeth or gums, that’s enough reason to give your family dentist in Redwood City a call.
