As bacteria start to gather below your gum line and create problems with your soft tissues, you will experience gingivitis. This is the first stage of an infection, one that can be reversed through the appropriate preventive care. You can identify signs of poor health by looking out for issues like tissue sensitivity, swelling and discoloration, more difficulty preventing bleeding, and issues with chronic bad breath. If the condition is not treated in time, it will become more difficult to manage.
Is there still time for you to avoid periodontal disease and reverse gingivitis? The sooner you act on concerns about your gum health, the less likely you are to experience complications. We can perform a diagnostic review and determine what kind of care you require. If you seek support in time, you can undergo preventive care in the form of a scaling and root planing, or you can begin supportive periodontal maintenance to control periodontal disease and avoid complications. If you need more support because of complications with your health, we can recommend different treatment options, including periodontal care with laser technology to fight bacteria and safely remove diseased gums.
Through better oral hygiene efforts, you can more easily protect your gums. We can actually assist you with this, as we can provide Perio Protect, a take-home treatment that you can make part of your smile care routine. This gives you the ability to directly apply antimicrobial agents to tissues to keep them safe against harmful bacteria.
When problems with your periodontal health begin, you can experience gingivitis. Fortunately, this condition is reversible. However, if it is not effectively addressed in time, it will grow worse, and that can turn into a lasting issue with periodontal disease! If you are concerned about the state of your gums and want to protect them, call Dr. Kania’s office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
