Frequently Asked Questions

Due to various reasons, gum bleeding can occur. One of the common causes includes inadequate oral hygiene, gum inflammation (gingivitis), or more advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It’s essential to seek dental advice to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
Signs of a gum infection may include redness, swelling, tenderness, and pus around the gums. You may also experience persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth. If you suspect a gum infection, seeing your dentist for evaluation and treatment without delay is important.
A tooth infection typically involves the innermost part of the tooth (pulp) and may result from untreated tooth decay or trauma. A gum infection affects the soft tissues surrounding the teeth and is often caused by bacterial plaque buildup along the gumline. Both conditions require prompt dental attention to prevent further complications.
Scaling and root planing is a thorough cleaning procedure to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup from beneath the gum line. This process entails meticulously removing plaque and tartar deposits from the tooth and root surfaces, then smoothing the root surfaces to encourage healing and deter future buildup.
After gum disease treatment, you may encounter some sensitivity or discomfort, but this should diminish shortly. Once any tenderness subsides, you should be able to return to your regular eating habits. Our dental team will provide post-treatment guidance to uphold good oral health and aid the healing process.
