Gums: “How to take care of the frame of our smile?” By Dr. Karina Pugliese from Araoz Dental

Bleeding:

It is the most common problem. Both inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and bleeding are due to many factors, but their main origin comes from the accumulation of bacterial plaque (colonies of bacteria that are deposited between the tooth and the gums). If you go more than 8 hours without washing, it can harden and turn into stones.

Solution: Change the brush to a softer brush, if you wash it three times a day, you may need to modify the technique. It is always advisable to take the brush to the office and consult for a more effective brushing method.

If the bacterial plaque hardens and turns into stone, in-office cleaning is necessary, otherwise the gums will not recover.

Chlorhexidine rinse: Fights the main cause of bleeding gums, gingivitis and bacterial plaque. You can consult us on how to use it. (See photo gallery).

Withdrawal:

If you notice that your teeth are longer or you can see the roots of your teeth in some areas, you may be suffering from gum recession.

The cause may be brushing too hard, brushing too hard or bruxism (unconscious teeth grinding).

Solution: Change the brush for a softer one, ask us about a new washing technique, you can use a resting plate to sleep.

You can include a solo cell for encyas (See photo gallery).

Periodontitis:

If gingivitis is not treated, it can lead to this disease that affects the soft tissue that supports the tooth, causing its mobility. The degree of mobility of the tooth will depend on its severity and whether or not it can be turned. In this case, it is very important to consult on this problem in time.

Solution: The initial treatment is to clean and separate the moving teeth to reverse this condition. It is important to consult a periodontist.

Hilo Dental

The best way to keep your gums healthy is to maintain a very good daily brushing and flossing technique.

At Araoz Dental we recommend dental tape (see photo gallery) because it does not break and is finer, achieving greater coverage and preventing gum damage. If you are not used to using it, it may bleed at first.

In the photo gallery you can find the products we recommend in our office to take care of your gums.
