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.
Aftercare for Gum Disease Treatment
Proper aftercare is vital for recovery:
- 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.
- Quit smoking and manage health conditions that increase risk.
