\"Tooth<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease is a serious oral health condition that can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession. In severe cases, your dentist or periodontist (a dentist who specializes in gum treatments) might even recommend that you get your teeth extracted. But will the tooth extractions in Lincoln<\/a> actually cure your condition? Let\u2019s talk about the answer to this important question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tooth Extractions as Part of a Gum Disease Treatment Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease is an infection of the gum tissue; it isn\u2019t an infection of the teeth. Therefore, it is important to understand that removing your teeth will not actually treat or cure your gum disease. However, extractions can <\/em>be an important part of your overall treatment plan to get your oral health back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be necessary to remove the teeth if the gum disease has seriously damaged the tissue around them. In such cases, the bone that supports the teeth, as well as the gums, may shrink to the point where your teeth become loose. You might find it difficult to chew foods, and it will be easier than ever for food particles and bacteria to accumulate in the pockets between your teeth and gums. Removing the teeth can both increase your comfort and be a stepping stone on your way to defeating gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventing the Need for Extractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your dental team doesn\u2019t want to remove any of your teeth \u2014 they would prefer to save them! If you seek treatment before your gum disease becomes severe, it\u2019s likely that you will be able to get ahead of the infection before it causes devastating damage to your oral tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular and conservative forms of periodontal (gum) therapy<\/a> is known as scaling and root planing, which is basically a deep cleaning of the mouth. Your dental team will remove bacteria both above and below the gumline, then smooth out the roots of the teeth so bacteria find it more difficult to cling to them. Antibiotic therapy and excellent at-home oral hygiene can work along with scaling and root planing to restore your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Need Extractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If it does become necessary to remove one or more of your teeth, be sure to ask about your tooth replacement options. After you no longer have active gum disease, you may qualify for dental implants. Implants are similar in structure to natural teeth and provide a strong bite force that can handle even the toughest foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tooth extractions might be an important step on your road to recovery from gum disease. Consulting with a periodontist can help you make smart choices about how to manage your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
