Why may someone need gum therapy?

Generally a patient would need gum therapy due to incidence of gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This is a common issue among many people which occurs when the gums become infected and inflamed, leading to pain, bleeding, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.

Why consider Gum therapy?

There are many reasons why someone may need gum therapy, but some of the most common causes include:

Poor oral hygiene

Neglecting to brush and floss daily can lead to a buildup of plaque and tartar, which can cause gum disease.

Genetics

Some people may be more susceptible to gum disease due to genetics.

Smoking

Smoking can decrease blood flow to the gums, making it harder for them to fight off infection.

Why is it important to have gum therapy done?

Having gum therapy done is important for several reasons, including:

Preventing tooth loss

Gum disease can lead to tooth loss if left untreated, so gum therapy can help prevent this from happening.

Improving overall health

Gum disease has been linked to several serious health issues, such as heart disease and stroke, so treating it can improve overall health.

Maintaining a confident smile

People with gum disease may be self-conscious about their appearance, so gum therapy can help improve their confidence.

Reducing inflammation

Gum therapy helps control infection, reduce swelling, and ease tenderness in the gums. By targeting the source of inflammation, it can significantly improve comfort and make everyday activities like eating and brushing much easier.
