Early Treatment is Key to Reversing Periodontitis Symptoms

Early periodontal treatment and continued maintenance are crucial to reversing periodontitis symptoms and restoring your oral health. At Wolfy Dental Group, Dr. Sandra Vukovic offers periodontal care to those experiencing gum disease symptoms. Through routine dental exams, your New Haven, Connecticut, dentist can detect early warning signs of gingivitis, the earliest form of periodontal disease, so that you can get immediate treatment before your condition worsens. Here are some signs to look for to indicate you may have early gum disease.

GINGIVITIS SYMPTOMS

The following are common gingivitis symptoms:

• Red swollen gums
• Gums that bleed when you brush or floss your teeth
• A foul taste in your mouth or bad breath that persists even after brushing your teeth
• Accumulation of plaque and tartar on your teeth
• Tooth sensitivity when eating sweets or drinking hot or cold beverages

Left untreated, gingivitis can escalate into periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease characterized by:

• Periodontal pockets of bacteria

• Loose teeth

Through early periodontitis treatment, Dr. Vukovic can reverse many of the symptoms of gingivitis and periodontitis to protect and preserve oral health.

STEPS TO STOP PERIODONTITIS AND RESTORE ORAL HEALTH

Although there’s no cure for periodontitis, we can treat this condition and manage your symptoms to prevent further damage to your gums and teeth. Depending on the extent of your condition, your periodontitis care may involve scaling your teeth, root planing, soft tissue grafting, and gum recession treatment.

Tooth scaling removes harmful plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surface of your teeth to stop the spread of gum disease. Root planing goes one step further by cleansing and smoothing the root surfaces of your teeth beneath the gum line to prevent plaque and bacteria from reinfecting your teeth. If your gums have receded due to periodontitis, soft tissue grafting and gum recession treatment can help repair the damage.

Treating periodontitis early is vital to managing negative symptoms and restoring your oral health. To schedule a consultation for periodontal treatment, contact Dr. Sandra Vukovic from Wolfy Dental Group, New Haven, Connecticut, at (203) 902-3629.
