The Dangers of Gum Disease

Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease, often presents as puffy, discolored gums that bleed when you brush. It can be easy to overlook because discomfort is minimal. However, harmful bacteria continually release acids that irritate your gums, creating periodontal pockets around teeth. These pockets allow pathogens to penetrate deeper, attacking the ligaments and bone that support your teeth.

If left untreated, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, causing:

Bad breath
Tenderness or pain when chewing
Loose teeth, which may need extraction or fall out naturally

Additionally, bacteria from periodontal disease can enter the bloodstream, triggering systemic inflammation. Research links periodontal disease to increased risks of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and other serious health conditions.

Fight Gum Disease with Periodontal Surgery in Alliston, ON

Following a thorough evaluation of your oral health, Dr. Vozna may recommend periodontal surgery to restore gum health. Techniques she uses include:

Removing bacteria below the gum line
Smoothing tooth roots
Reshaping bone when necessary
Removing diseased gum tissue
Supplementing soft tissue with grafting if required

These procedures promote a healthy seal between gums and teeth, control bacterial infection, and prepare your mouth for long-term health. Maintaining results involves a good home care routine, balanced nutrition, and regular professional cleanings.

Cosmetic Gingival Surgery

Even healthy gums can benefit from cosmetic improvement. Gum recession from bruxism or aggressive brushing can make teeth appear too long and expose sensitive root surfaces prone to decay. Dr. Vozna performs grafting surgery to restore gum coverage and protect teeth.

Some patients have excess gum tissue, making teeth look short, or gums with uneven, ragged edges. Cosmetic periodontal surgery can correct these issues, creating a natural, attractive gum line and enhancing your smile.
