Gum Disease Treatment In Regina, SK

Signs of Gum Disease

The symptoms of gum disease are often not apparent at an early stage. During your regular hygiene appointments, we will assess your gums for early signs of the condition. However, you can also inspect your mouth for signs of gum disease. The signs to look out for include:
  • Redness, tenderness, or swelling of the gums.
  • Pus around the teeth and gums.
  • Abnormal sensitivity to cold or hot.
  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing.
  • Painful gums when chewing.
  • Persistent bad breath or bad taste.

If you notice any of the symptoms above or are still unsure if you have gum disease, our general dental team is happy to provide a detailed oral health assessment.

Stages of Gum Disease

Gum disease will progress over time, meaning that it has a few recognizable stages. The cause of gum disease is the buildup of plaque, which will harden as tar. Incorrect or infrequent brushing and flossing commonly lead to plaque buildup, especially if the teeth are very tight together. The stages of gum disease are:
  • Gingivitis. The earliest stage of gum disease, marked by dental plaque buildup at the gum line. This is a critical time for an intervention, as the disease can be reversed with treatment.
  • Periodontitis. If left untreated, gingivitis will develop into periodontitis. The inflammation extends to the bone tissue and slowly causing bone loss. Gum disease treatment can still prevent further damage and save your teeth at this stage.
  • Advanced periodontitis. There is an excessing loss of bone and teeth become loose at this stage. They may start shifting or even fall out. Your speech, eating, and bite will be dramatically affected, and treatment often requires tooth extraction.
