Frequently Asked Questions
There are few medical reasons why our breath stinks, it could be from a sinus infection, strep throat, acid reflux, and could be an underlying medical issue that causes a long-lasting unpleasant breath.
The mouth has been commonly described as the “gateway to the body,” so if you believe your bad breath is caused by your general health, visit your doctor and express your concerns.
Having a dry mouth from certain medications, salivary gland problems or simply breathing through your mouth are also possible causes for bad breath. However, it could also be a warning sign of gum disease which is caused by a sticky, cavity-causing bacteria called plaque.
- Red or swollen gums
- Bleeding when brushing
- Bad Breath
- Aching, itchy, sore, or tender gums
- Receding gums (teeth beginning to look longer)
In severe cases, pus between your teeth and gums when you press down on the gums
Be aware of any unusual tooth movement like separation or protrusion of teeth, changes of soft tissue appearance and fitting of partial dentures which could also be symptoms of gum disease.
Treatment and management of your gum disease will depend on how advanced it is and how much damage it has caused. It’s important to treat gum disease, even in the early stages.
Untreated gum disease will not only progress in your mouth but can also have an effect on your general health.
Mild gum disease can often be treated with an improved commitment to good oral hygiene habits and the use of antimicrobial mouthwash. Moderate to advanced gum disease may require a deep cleaning treatment known as scaling and root debridement.
For more advanced care, you may be referred to a Periodontist if the condition needs intensive treatment and management.
If you are concerned that you might have periodontal disease, call our office today at 9436 3347 so we can start the treatment.
Gum disease is an infection of the tissue that holds the teeth in place. Through good oral hygiene habits it can help prevent the progression of the disease .The earlier we catch it, the easier the treatment will be . Gum disease is an ongoing bacterial infection of the gums often caused by poor oral hygiene, dental plaque, smoking, genetic factors, stress, diet, age, and illness. If left untreated, the inflammation can lead to a serious infection that can destroy the bone around the teeth, leading to tooth mobility resulting in tooth loss.
