Strong, vibrant gums form the essential base for every tooth, keeping your smile stable and secure. At Dr. Vidya Varathan Dental Care, we focus on preventive and restorative periodontal treatments to ensure your teeth have a solid support system
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a chronic infection of the gums and bone. Signs include swollen or bleeding gums, sensitivity, persistent bad breath, and even loose teeth. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for preventing tooth loss.
Bacteria in plaque can build up along the gumline and erode the tissue and bone around your teeth. Without timely intervention, this can lead to gum recession, tooth mobility, and eventually, tooth loss. Regular checkups help catch issues before they escalate.
Daily brushing and flossing, along with routine professional cleanings, are your best defense against gum disease. If diagnosed, starting treatment right away can stop the infection from progressing, preserving the health of both your teeth and gums.
If you suspect gum disease or want to learn more about periodontics, contact Dr. Vidya Varathan Dental Care. We’ll work with you to maintain healthy gums, ensuring a strong foundation for a confident, lasting smile.
