Receding Gum Treatment
Receding gums leave your entire mouth vulnerable to decay and serious infection. The gum tissues are necessary for protecting the roots of the teeth and holding the teeth securely in place. Every individual tooth is a living feature within the mouth, and if damage affects the roots of the tooth, it can die. One of the most common symptoms of receding gums is having tooth sensitivity. When the roots are even slightly exposed, hot/cold temperatures and sweet or sour foods can cause jolts of pain or discomfort to the tooth. Receding gums also leave the exposed roots susceptible to infection. Gingivitis and periodontal disease are the most common causes of receding gums. When the gums are infected due to bacterial plaque, the bacteria will eventually begin attacking the teeth. Cedar Park Dental & Braces provides appropriate intervention to restore your smile.
Relief For Bleeding Or Swollen Gums
Healthy gum tissue is firm, light pink in color and not overly sensitive. Bleeding or swollen gums are a sign that your mouth is unhealthy and needs attention.
