What are the leading causes of gum disease?

Plaque is a thin layer of bacteria formed over your teeth. It soon hardens to form tartar, and when this tartar goes below the gum line, then your gums get inflamed. When left untreated, gingivitis will cause the gums to separate from the teeth. The teeth become unstable and loose. As the infection grows, you will begin losing your teeth, or the condition will be so bad that the tooth/teeth will have to be removed by a dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum disease?
Are gum diseases curable?
- Gingivitis
- Periodontitis
- Advanced periodontitis
If you approach us at an early stage, our expert dentists will offer treatments like dental cleaning to clean the plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum lining. If you happen to be in a later stage of gum disease, our dentists offer surgical procedures to fix your problems. There are different treatments for this stage, including bone grafts, soft tissue grafts, etc. For patients in an advanced stage of periodontitis and have already begun losing their teeth, our dentists use dental implants to fix the issue.
What can I do to avoid gum diseases?
- Brush your teeth twice a day
- Flossing is beneficial in removing bits of food caught between your teeth. It also helps in getting rid of plaque from areas that cannot be accessed by your brush’s bristles.
- Reduce the intake of starchy and sugary foods as they add to the plaque build-up.
- Consuming foods that are rich in Vitamin A and C help in fighting against gum diseases.
- Avoid smoking and chewing/consuming as they are harmful to your mouth. Gum diseases caused because of this reason may also develop into cancer at a later stage.
- Antidepressants and oral contraceptives, if consumed excessively, trigger, or worsen gum diseases.
