Understanding Gum Disease
At Aurora North Dental, we know that healthy gums are essential for protecting your teeth and supporting long-term oral health. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common condition caused by plaque and bacteria building up along the gumline.
Early symptoms such as redness, swelling, or bleeding while brushing can be easy to miss, but an untreated gum infection may lead to more serious concerns over time. Maintaining healthy gums helps:
Common Gum Concerns We Treat
Our team provides personalized care for a wide range of gum-related issues. Common concerns include:
Bleeding Gums
Often an early sign of irritation or infection. Professional dental cleanings and improved home care can help restore gum health.
Advanced Periodontitis
An advanced form of gum disease that can damage supporting bone. Treatment may include deep cleaning and periodontal care.
Gum Recession
When gum tissue pulls back and exposes sensitive tooth roots. We help manage discomfort and protect the area from wear.
Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation
A minimally-invasive option that may help restore gum coverage and improve overall comfort for patients with recession.
Simple Habits for Healthier Gums
Gum health starts at home and continues with regular preventive care. To protect your gums, we recommend:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste along the gumline
- Floss every day to remove plaque between teeth
- Schedule routine checkups and dental cleanings every 4 to 6 months
- Avoid tobacco, which increases gum disease risk
- Ask our team about additional support if you notice sensitivity or bleeding
If you are experiencing symptoms, early treatment makes a big difference.
