Improper oral health care can lead to plaque buildup on teeth. If the plaque isn’t removed through proper oral hygiene, it will eventually harden and turn to tartar. It’s critical to brush twice a day, floss once a day, and rinse with an effective antiseptic mouthwash regularly. Additional causes of gum disease include:
Regardless of the cause of your gum disease, our dentists can treat the disease using the special deep cleaning technique, which is called scaling and root planning. This treatment involves removing the plaque and tartar of your teeth, gums, and periodontal pocket. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, several visits and treatments may be required. Strong oral hygiene habits are critical in order to keep periodontal disease from returning.
Regular dental checkups and examinations are important for maintaining your oral health. Practicing good oral hygiene at home will also significantly reduce your chances of getting periodontal disease. If you’re in need of gum disease treatment in Hendersonville, NC, contact our office today.
