Take Control of Your Gum Health

Your gums do more than hold your teeth in place. They protect your oral health, support your smile, and even impact your overall well-being. At Dentistes REMA, our periodontics services (periodontology) are designed to prevent and treat gum disease so you can enjoy a healthy smile.

Regular exams and cleanings can make all the difference in preserving your smile and gum health. If you are experiencing gum discomfort or signs of infection, early treatment can protect your teeth and improve your oral health.

What Is Periodontitis?

Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. The periodontium is the system of gums, ligaments, and bone that holds your teeth in place. When infected, these tissues can deteriorate gradually, leading to loose teeth or even tooth loss if untreated.

Beyond oral health, untreated periodontitis has been linked to other health concerns, including heart disease, diabetes, and complications during pregnancy.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Periodontitis

Periodontitis often starts with mild symptoms that can be easy to overlook, such as:

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums or loose teeth
  • Sensitivity to cold
  • Food getting stuck between teeth
  • Redness and tenderness of gums
  • Pus or discharge from the gums

Who Is at Risk?

This infection affects a large portion of the population, but some groups face a higher risk, including:

  • People with a family history of gum disease
  • Smokers
  • Individuals with chronic illnesses such as diabetes
  • Those experiencing high stress levels or depression
  • People with poor oral hygiene or a few cavities

How Is Periodontitis Treated?

If you notice any symptoms, it is important to visit your dentist promptly. We use X-rays and specialized tests to diagnose gum infections.

Treatment often involves professional deep cleaning to remove tartar and bacteria from below the gum line, promoting healing and preventing further damage. 

Early intervention can save your gums and teeth while improving your overall health. Don’t wait until the problem worsens. Schedule a consultation with our dental team at Dentistes REMA and take action for your gum health.
