Gum Problems and Operations

Patients may not realise that they have gum disease or bone loss. Sometimes a coincidental panoramic x-ray or a dental x-ray reveals bone loss. Generally 75 percent of people have problems with their gums or bones surrounding the teeth. However, at which stage an operation may be necessary? This is significant since it is important to solve the problem with early diagnosis and simpler methods. Bleeding in gums, loose teeth, visible teeth roots and sensitivity may be the symptoms of a gum disease.

In order to prevent a possible deterioration, you must visit your dentist once in 6 months.  Gum problems require lifelong dental examination.

Gum disease called the periodontitis generally tends to deteriorate. Together with insufficient mouth care, it may come to a stage where an operation is inevitable. This disease has damaging effects on the bones holding the teeth and the surrounding tissues.
