What causes gum disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—on the teeth and gums. When plaque is not removed through regular brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar, which can irritate the gums and lead to inflammation. Other factors that contribute to gum disease include smoking, poor oral hygiene, hormonal changes, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like diabetes. Genetics can also play a role in your susceptibility to gum disease. At Majidian Dental, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatment to address these causes and help you maintain healthy gums and teeth.

How is gum disease treated?
Gum disease is treated through a combination of professional dental care and improved oral hygiene practices. In the early stages, known as gingivitis, gum disease can often be reversed with a thorough cleaning by your dentist and a commitment to daily brushing and flossing. For more advanced stages, known as periodontitis, treatment may include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths the tooth roots to help the gums reattach. In severe cases, surgical interventions such as gum grafts or flap surgery may be necessary to restore gum health. At Majidian Dental, we provide personalized gum disease treatment plans to effectively manage and treat periodontal disease, helping to prevent further damage and maintain a healthy smile.

What is gum recession?
Gum recession is a condition where the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This can lead to increased tooth sensitivity, a higher risk of cavities, and aesthetic concerns as teeth may appear longer. Gum recession is often a result of periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or poor oral hygiene, but it can also be caused by genetics or misaligned teeth. If left untreated, gum recession can lead to further oral health complications, including tooth loss.
