Gum Health - Semidey Dental

Chances are you have a solid routine when it comes to oral hygiene. Brush, maybe floss, gargle, repeat. And you should continue to do all of those things because they help protect the seal your gums provide to the bone anchoring your teeth in place.

Gum disease, which affects over 50% of all adults, refers to a bacterial infection that broke that seal and lies below the surface of the gums. It slowly burrows itself deeper and deeper until it becomes a chronic condition that can't be cured.

1. Current Gum Health

At your initial visit we will gather thorough records to establish your current gum health status, as well as identifying possible risk factors unique to you.

2. Treatment Phase

Together we will develop a plan of attack tailored to your level of gum disease.

3. Evaluation Phase

Because we believe in minimally invasive treatment and everyone's biology and genetics are different, we will sometimes need to adjust the level of care depending on how well your gums respond to the initial treatment.

4. Maintenance Phase

Gum disease is a chronic condition that requires ongoing maintenance to keep in remission.

how gums become unhealthy

shallow pockets

your gums have a small space around the tooth called a pocket. Bacteria can infect that pocket leading to what we call 'gum disease'.

Brushing and flossing is usually enough to maintain healthy gums where the pocket is shallow

early gum disease (gingivitis)

As the infection advances, the pocket deepens and at home irrigation tools, like waterpik, is needed to reach the entire pocket

advanced gum disease

Deeper infection require specialized procedures to re-establish a healthy environment
