DENTAL
FAQ's Gum
Diseases
The
teeth are fine, but the gums gotta go... As biomedical
advances make inroads in the fight against tooth decay while at the same
time prolonging life expectancy, the face of dentistry is changing. No
longer is fixing cavities the predominant role of dentistry. The
prevention and treatment of gum disease and the promotion of periodontal
health has moved to the forefront of modern dental practice and research. Q: Well for
the longest time now my gums have been really really sore. They bleed all
the time and I have holes in between my teeth. Is there any one who can
let me know what it is and how I can treat it? Someone told me that it was
gingivitis or something like that. A:
Periodontal disease runs the gamut from mild gingivitis to severe
periodontitis with bone loss. Most people are not equipped to make a
precise diagnosis by themselves. Certainly I cannot determine the full
nature of what you have from your description. Without a diagnosis, an
appropriate treatment cannot be prescribed. What are you
waiting for? Get thee to a dentist!
