Gum Disease Treatment

What Are the Signs of Gum Disease?

Gum disease, or periodontal disease, attacks the gums and tooth-supporting tissues. Caused by bacteria, it can cause receding gums, as well as the loss of teeth. It also seems link to a number of other health conditions, including hypertension (high blood pressure), stroke, heart disease, diabetes, complications of pregnancy, and respiratory conditions.

Signs and symptoms of gum disease include:

  • - Gums which easily bleed, especially after brushing your teeth.
  • - Receding, swollen, reddened or tender gums.
  • - Teeth which look longer or become loose.
  • - Pain while eating/chewing.
  • - Persistent bad breath.

If you experience these symptoms, please contact our Virginia Beach office to visit our dentist--seek treatment.

How Is Gum Disease Treated?

Gum disease is treated in a variety of ways, and the specific ways will be determined between you and Dr. Ronald Fuhrmann. Some of the treatments include additional teeth cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibiotics, and improved personal oral hygiene.
