Gum Disease Treatment Glenroy
Glenroy Dental Group – the trusted name for advanced gum disease treatment
Gum disease is a very prevalent concern among adults and even children. Studies suggest that nearly 70% of people are affected by gum problems at some point in their life. This is often the result of not maintaining good oral hygiene.
At Glenroy Dental Group, we strive to provide the perfect dental care solutions, and we specialise in treating gum disease. We advocate for preventive dentistry while also providing the highest level of dedicated support to our patients.
What Causes Gum Disease?
Plaque, a type of bacterial growth in the mouth, causes gum disease, which is also known as Periodontal Disease. When plaque is not treated with brushing and flossing, it results in the inflammation of the gum line, which develops into Tartar. It can progress to the bone, fibres, and tissues surrounding the teeth, causing significant damage. This is the early stage of gum disease. As time progresses, the gums will recede, making only the jawbones visible.
The symptoms of Gum Disease
Though this is a common disease, the symptoms are quite silent. They don’t usually appear until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Following are some symptoms that you can watch out for:
- Gum bleeding when brushing or flossing your teeth
- Teeth loosening
- Pain while chewing
- Even after brushing, you have foul breath that won't go away.
- Teeth sensitivity
- Tender, red, or swollen gums
If you notice any one of these symptoms, contact the dental professionals at Glenroy Dental Group. We will be happy to provide an on-time solution.
The different stages of gum disease
There are primarily 3 stages of gum disease – Gingivitis, Periodontitis, and advanced Periodontitis. It begins slowly, with no initial pain. As it progresses further, it takes an aggressive nature, often resulting in terrible pain.
Gingivitis
This is the first stage, often caused due to the build-up of germs or plaque. When plaque isn’t removed by brushing and flossing, it leads to irritation in the gums. As a result, the gums might start bleeding while brushing and flossing. Since the bone remains unaffected in this stage, the rich era chances are quite high.
Periodontitis
Late diagnosis and treatment during the Gingivitis stage can lead to Periodontitis. In this stage, the bone gets affected. You’ll notice spaces between the bone and the gum line. The space becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. A timely visit to the dentist can prevent Periodontitis, an advanced stage of gum disease.
Advanced Periodontitis
Advanced Periodontitis is a condition in which the bone inside your teeth is severely damaged, causing the teeth to loosen even more. This can be resolved only by surgery. If the damage is too advanced, surgery might not be a viable option. Your tooth may have to be removed. Dentists may resort to dental implants to fix the issue.

Additional Dental Problems
Associated With Gum Disease
Gum disease is not a specifically located problem. It can cause a bunch of other dental issues, like:
Tooth Decay
The bacteria present in the plaque can damage the external surface of the tooth- the enamel. This leads to the formation of cavities, infections, and tooth loss if it remains untreated.
Bad Breath
Tooth decay and the build-up of Tartar (resulting from plaque build-up) causes a foul smell, which often doesn’t go even after brushing and flossing.
Increased Tooth Sensitivity
As the enamel wears out, the gum recedes. This increases the overall sensitivity of your teeth.
Loose Teeth and Dental Prosthesis
If you already have fixed dental prosthesis, (such as crowns etc.) They as well as your natural teeth will be affected as gums start receding and teeth become looser.
