Port Coquitlam Gum Disease Treatment: Identify and Treat It Early
Many people in the Port Coquitlam area may be at risk for or already suffer from gum disease. What does periodontal (gum) disease do to your mouth and body? How can it be treated? What can a dentist like Dr. Peter Kim do for you?
Gum disease occurs most frequently when trapped bacteria gets caught in the gums and may lead to bone loss in the mouth or even infection that affects the patient's heart. That's why Dr. Kim may notice some early signs of gum disease such as bad breath, loose teeth, bleeding gums, and pockets (extra space in between the tooth and the gum). If the periodontal infection is invasive or pockets are quite large, he may suggest surgical treatment - which can often regenerate decaying bone matter. If you are suffering from only a minor form of gingivitis, Dr. Peter Kim may perform scaling or root planing, which involves removing the plaque in these deep pockets.
The adverse effects of gum disease are too devastating to put off a visit to the dentist any longer! Lucky for you, Dr. Peter Kim cares as much about you and your comfort as he does about your gums. Call Peter Kim DMD or fill out the online form to schedule a gum disease treatment appointment today!
Gum disease such as gingivitis can oftentimes be a "silent" invader - even a silent killer - that leads to bleeding gums, bad breath, bone loss in the jaw, or even heart attacks. Regular screenings at our Port Coquitlam office to prevent infected gums and regular treatment of already infected gums are essential to your health!
