This results in a pocket forming with depths exceeding the normal 3mm, and an inability to maintain clean and healthy gums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gum disease\u00a0is a silent, chronic, painless and communicable bacterial infection that often goes undetected or ignored until severe gum and bone destruction is unbearable and no longer able to be ignored. Left untreated,\u00a0gum disease\u00a0can cause tooth loss and traditional treatment can hurt.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to treat periodontal disease, including scaling and root planing (sometimes referred to as a \u201cdeep cleaning\u201d), laser assisted gum therapy, and surgical intervention. Scaling and root planing involves removal of affected tissue, plaque, and calculus from the tooth and root surfaces to promote healing and reattachment of the gums. Laser therapy gently disinfects and evaporates diseased tissues from around the tooth and inside the gum pocket, interrupting the bacterial destruction of the tissues and bone, which allows the gums an environment in which they can heal. Repeated visits, generally 2-8, allow the gum pocket to become disease-free, and often allow tissue to reattach and form a pocket around the tooth that is manageable and near normal. This new laser therapy is gentle and less painful. In some cases, surgery may still be necessary when the periodontal disease is severe. Laser therapy, when possible, is a more conservative, effective, and comfortable option for treating gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\nRead More<\/a><\/span>\n

The Consequences of Untreated Gum Disease<\/h2>\n

Untreated gum disease<\/b>\u00a0can have severe consequences on your oral health and overall well-being. Ignoring the signs and symptoms of gum disease can lead to various complications that may require extensive treatment. At Chicago Style Smiles, we emphasize the importance of early detection and prompt treatment to prevent these consequences.<\/p>\n

Oral Health Consequences<\/h3>\n

When gum disease goes untreated, it can progress from mild gingivitis to more advanced stages, such as periodontitis. This can result in:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Severe gum inflammation<\/li>\n
  • Gum recession<\/li>\n
  • Gum abscesses<\/li>\n
  • Tooth loss<\/li>\n
  • Bone damage<\/li>\n
  • Loose or shifting teeth<\/li>\n
  • Bad breath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Additionally,\u00a0untreated gum disease<\/b>\u00a0can have implications beyond your mouth. Several studies have linked gum disease to other health conditions, including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Heart disease<\/li>\n
    • Diabetes<\/li>\n
    • Respiratory infections<\/li>\n
    • Stroke<\/li>\n
    • Complications during pregnancy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      It is crucial to understand that gum disease is not a condition that will resolve on its own. Seeking timely treatment is essential to prevent these\u00a0oral health consequences<\/b>\u00a0and avoid potential systemic health issues.<\/p>\n

      “Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone damage, and increase the risk of other health problems. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent these consequences and ensure a healthy smile.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      Treatment Options<\/h3>\n

      Our practice offers a range of gum disease treatment options to cater to different stages and types of gum disease. These include non-surgical treatments such as deep cleaning (scaling and root planing<\/b>) and antibiotic therapy, as well as surgical procedures like gum grafting and pocket reduction surgery.<\/p>\n

      Non-surgical treatments are often recommended for early to moderate stages of gum disease. They focus on removing bacteria and plaque buildup from the gumline and promoting gum tissue healing. Surgical treatments are typically reserved for advanced cases where deep cleaning alone is not enough to restore gum health.<\/p>\n

      It is important to note that our team will only recommend treatment options that are necessary and in your best interest. We prioritize conservative approaches and utilize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.<\/p>\n

      Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatments<\/h2>\n

      At Chicago Style Smiles, we offer a range of\u00a0non-surgical gum disease treatments<\/b>\u00a0to help our patients restore their oral health. These treatments are effective in addressing gum disease in its early to moderate stages, providing a conservative approach before more invasive surgical procedures may be needed.<\/p>\n

      One of the primary non-surgical treatments we utilize is\u00a0scaling and root planing<\/b>, also known as a deep cleaning. This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth and the roots below the gumline.<\/p>\n

      Scaling<\/em>\u00a0is the process of carefully removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the tooth surfaces. Our skilled dental hygienists use specialized tools to access and clean areas that a regular toothbrush or floss cannot reach. This thorough cleaning helps eliminate the source of infection and reduces inflammation.<\/p>\n

      Root planing<\/em>, which is done after scaling, focuses on smoothing the rough surfaces of the tooth roots. This promotes gum tissue reattachment and reduces the chances of bacteria re-colonizing the area. By creating a clean and smooth surface, the gum tissue can better heal and regenerate, helping to reverse the effects of gum disease.<\/p>\n

      Scaling and root planing is a minimally invasive procedure that typically does not require anesthesia. However, our team prioritizes patient comfort, and if needed, we can provide local anesthesia or sedation options during the treatment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      After scaling and root planing, our dental team will provide specific oral hygiene instructions to help you maintain your gum health at home. It is crucial to follow these recommendations, including regular brushing, flossing, and using antimicrobial mouthwash. Additionally, we will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, remove any remaining bacteria, and ensure that your gums are healing properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
