Gum Disease Treatment - Dumont, NJ

If you or someone you loves has gum disease, seek treatment from Dr. Herbert Schneider, Dr. Rachel Jacobs & Dr. Uri N Schneider.

Could You or Someone You Care About Have Gum Disease?

Gum disease is often considered a “silent” problem, because many sufferers do not realize they have an issue until the disease has progressed. However, there are several signs that may indicate that gum disease is present:

Bad Breath – While it’s common to have bad breath every now and then, especially after eating foods containing ingredients such as onions, hot peppers and garlic, chronic bad breath (halitosis) is not normal.
Bleeding Gums – Gums that bleed while eating, drinking, brushing and flossing are signs that something is wrong. Healthy gums do not bleed unless you are being too aggressive with your oral hygiene.
Red, Inflamed and/or Painful Gums – When gums are suffering from a build-up of bacteria and calculus, they may start to turn a darker color and become puffy. A dull ache may also be present at the site of the irritation. Though food caught between the teeth and gums can be a cause of this problem, periodontal disease should always be ruled out.
Loose Teeth – Gum disease that has gotten worse, and has not been exposed to a periodontal maintenance treatment plan, can lead to loosening teeth that may eventually fall out, without intervention from the doctor.

What to Expect from Periodontal Maintenance in Dumont, NJ

Dr. Herbert Schneider, Dr. Rachel Jacobs and Dr. Uri N Schneider follow conservative, comfortable and safe approaches to periodontal maintenance. This ensures that patients get the care they deserve, and that they always leave knowing they have done everything possible for their dental health.

Regular periodontal maintenance includes deep cleaning and sanitizing of the area between the teeth and the gums. This area is where periodontal pockets form, allowing a space for bacteria to build and grow. Though the space is impossible to thoroughly clean at home, we can use specialized equipment to make sure all calculus and bacteria is removed. This process is typically known as scaling and root planing.

How Progressive Gum Disease and Periodontitis Are Treated

If you have not been treated for periodontal disease, you may develop periodontitis. This condition starts to affect the roots of the teeth, causing pits and grooves in the bone that allow plaque and bacteria to hide and multiply. With osseous surgery, Dr. Herbert Schneider, Dr. Rachel Jacobs and Dr. Uri N Schneider can smooth out the rough portions of the roots of the teeth, sanitizing the areas and also surgically repairing loose gums.

Osseous surgery is performed in-house under local anesthesia unless you require another type of numbing agent. After surgery, the area must be kept clean, and the doctor will give you a regimen to follow at home to ensure that all bacteria are kept under control. The results are a clean, healthy mouth with restored gums!
