🦷 Got Gums? Let's Talk Gingivitis! 🌿

Hey everyone! Let’s dive into something that’s super important for your oral health—gingivitis. Here are 5 common symptoms you might notice:

1️⃣ Red, swollen gums: If your gums are looking like they’ve had a bad sunburn, it’s time to pay attention.

2️⃣ Bleeding when you brush or floss: A little pink in the sink isn’t normal. Your gums are trying to tell you something!

3️⃣ Bad breath: If you’re sporting dragon breath even after brushing, gingivitis might be the culprit.

4️⃣ Receding gums: Are your teeth looking longer than usual? Your gums might be pulling back.

5️⃣ Tenderness or discomfort: If your gums are feeling sensitive, they might need some TLC.

Don’t ignore these signs! Your oral health is super important, and catching gingivitis early can save you from more serious issues down the road.

🦷 Curious about periodontal gum grafts? Let's break it down! 🦷

A gum graft is a dental procedure where a dentist takes tissue from one part of your mouth and attaches it to areas where your gums have receded. This helps cover exposed tooth roots, giving you a healthier smile.

👉 Why might you need one?
1.Gum Recession:This is when your gum tissue pulls away from your teeth, exposing the roots. It can be caused by brushing too hard, gum disease, or natural aging.
2.Reduce Sensitivity:If your teeth are sensitive to hot or cold, a gum graft can help cover the exposed roots and reduce discomfort.
3.Protect Your Teeth:Exposed roots are more prone to decay and damage. A graft helps shield them.
4.Improve Appearance:Receding gums can make your teeth look longer. A graft can restore your natural gum line and enhance your smile.

👉 What to Expect:
- Consultation:Your dentist will examine your gums and discuss the best approach.
- Procedure: Usually done under local anesthesia. Tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth or another donor site and placed where needed.
- Recovery: Some swelling and discomfort are normal. Follow your dentist's care instructions for a smooth recovery.

Remember, healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile! If you notice signs of gum recession, like sensitivity or longer-looking teeth, chat with your dentist. They can guide you on whether a gum graft is the right option for you. 😊

Have you been told you need crown lengthening but aren't sure what it involves? This procedure is often recommended when there's not enough tooth structure available to support a dental restoration or if the tooth is covered by excessive gum tissue. Crown lengthening involves reshaping the gum and bone to expose more of the tooth's surface, providing a stable foundation for restorative treatments like crowns or bridges. At our periodontal office, we specialize in crown lengthening procedures to ensure optimal oral health and aesthetics. Say goodbye to dental discomfort and hello to a beautifully restored smile!

Infertility & Oral Health

There is a link between poor dental health and infertility problems in women. Severe gum diseases result in various health issues that make it difficult for a woman to conceive and continue a healthy pregnancy. It may even take longer for a woman with bad oral health to conceive than a woman with good dental health.

Kidney Disease & Oral Health

Infections in your body, like periodontal disease, can lead to kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is a severe health problem that can affect the heart, bones, and even your blood pressure.

Generally, people with gum disease have a weaker immune system, and such people are more likely to catch infections.

Notably, those who suffer from poor dental health suffer from kidney disease, which can be severe as it may lead to cardiovascular disease or kidney failure.

Pregnancy Complications & Oral Health

The would-be-mums need to practise good oral hygiene. Pregnant women are at the risk of developing oral infections much more quickly as their body goes through hormonal changes during this phase. And any infection in the mother’s body also increases the risk of pregnancy complications.

In expecting mothers, oral health problems like gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to premature birth and even lower newborn birth weight. In short, gum disease puts both the mother and the baby at risk of severe health issues.
