What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. It’s caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. If left untreated, gum disease can progress from gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) to periodontitis, leading to tooth loss and other serious health complications.
What is Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is a modern dental technology that utilizes focused beams of light to perform various procedures with precision and minimal invasiveness. At Nash Family Dentistry in Vicksburg, MS, Dr. Nash and his team use the BIOLASE WaterLase iPlus®, a state-of-the-art dental laser system that combines water, air, and laser energy to perform precise and gentle treatments.
Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of gum disease is crucial for seeking timely treatment. Here are some common indicators to watch out for:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing
- Receding gums
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
- Loose teeth or tooth sensitivity
- Gum abscesses or pus between the teeth and gums
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to schedule an appointment with Dr. Nash in Vicksburg, MS, for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment.
