Whatever the case is, you will want to have a set of teeth that you can show off to the world for years to come. For this to happen you must communicate with your local periodontist. <em>Here are a few things your periodontist want you to know:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Understand What Gum Disease Is<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first stage of this dental disease condition is often referred to as gingivitis. <em><u>Symptoms includes:<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/blog\/bad-breathe\/\"><em>Bad breathe<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<li><em>Bleeding gums<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Swollen gums<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019ve experienced these symptoms before, it might be a good idea to consult with a local periodontist or dentist in order to plan a successful treatment and reduce the symptoms for your future oral health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Understand Scaling and Root Planning <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/root-planning.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"root planning\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/root-planning.png\" alt=\"root planning\" \/> <\/a>Scaling and root planning are the two most important dental procedures to combat conditions like gum disease. Your periodontist can remove plaque and tartar buildup form below your gum lines and heard to reach areas where flossing cannot combat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Don\u2019t worry about the pain. This procedure is non-surgical and has been found to be effective in the reversal of gum disease or periodontal disease. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Making and Keeping Your Appointments is Important<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Really, when your peridontist or dentist tells you that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/blog\/how-oral-health-problems-serve-as-an-indicator-for-general-health\/\">oral health<\/a> is in your hands, it really is. It is important to practice proper dental hygiene on a daily basis such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Brushing twice daily<\/li>\n<li>Flossing every day<\/li>\n<li>Brush between meals<\/li>\n<li>Rinse with a mouth rinse<\/li>\n<li>Use whitening strips only if necessary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Every 6 months it\u2019s also important to take a visit with your periodontist. It is just as important to show up to your dental appointment so you can go over any problems you may have that can be treated and prevent future gum diseases.<\/p>\n<h2>Save Your Teeth!<\/h2>\n<p>To learn more about gum diseases you can visit our <a style=\"color: blue;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/blog\/\">dental blog<\/a>.
