Periodontal Disease (Gum) Treatment & After-care

Gum disease is usually caused by a build-up of plaque on teeth and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky coating containing bacteria. The immune system tries to get rid of plaque with an inflammation response. This is seen as redness and swelling of the gum around the tooth.

Periodontal Disease (Gum) Treatment & After-care

Understanding Gum Disease

Everybody has a range of bacteria in their mouth. Plaque is constantly being formed by some of these bacteria when they feed on the sugars in the foods and drinks you consume. Plaque provides the perfect environment for the bacteria that can cause gum disease and tooth decay to live and multiply.

  • Brush and floss daily to remove plaque.
  • Use antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria.
  • Avoid sugary and starchy foods that feed bacteria.
  • Regular dental visits for cleanings and evaluations.
