Cure for bleeding gums is the wrong
way to think about the problem. When the gums bleed, it is not
stopping the bleeding that should be of importance, it is the
underlying condition that causes the bleeding that should be
addressed. Bleeding gums are caused by gum disease,
an
inflammation or swelling of the gum tissues that afflicts many
people. Gum disease
generally doesn't hurt. You may have it for
years before you feel discomfort.
Anyone at any age is susceptible to gum disease. Gum disease is caused by
plaque. If the plague is not removed on a daily basis it will
form calculus, which is the breeding ground
for the germs which
cause gum disease. Bleeding gums are the first sign that there
may be a problem with the gums. Puffy, tender red gums are also
a sign that there is an infection present. Bleeding gums however
are not always present even in severe
cases of gum disease.
Periodontal
disease or gingivitis as it is also called is the number one
cause of tooth loss today. The reason we loose teeth from
gum disease is because this disease attacks the gums as
well
as the bone, which are the foundation in which our teeth
rest. As the bone literally dissolves away from around our
teeth, they become loose and eventually fall out.
Early prevention is the best cure for bleeding gums .Top quality oral hygiene is the answer to a
cure for bleeding gums .
For Bleeding Gums we provide
normal cleaning of the teeth with the state of the art
Ultrasonic Instruments at our centre. Deep cleaning and gum surgeries are
also performed routinely.
Routine and regular visits to us or any dentist are the
best way of catching gum disease in its early stages before
too much damage has been caused. Gum disease will not go
away by itself or with improved home care. The only way of
removing plaque deep under the
gums is with professional
cleanings. Once you have had a gum problem you will always
be susceptible to recurring problems, so be sure to see us
or any dentist on a regular basis - every six months to a
year, unless we recommends otherwise.
