Early gingivitis is characterized by gums that bleed on brushing, which progresses to later stages when the gums appear red, swollen, tender on touch, and spontaneously bleed.<br \/>\nIf left unchecked, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis which is characterized by receding gums, loose teeth and destruction of the surrounding bone below the gum line. Sometimes, you may experience foul smell and taste, as well as pus in your gums.<br \/>\nOur gums attach to the teeth a little below the visible gum line. The area between the gums and teeth, just below the visible gum line is called the sulcus. Gum disease begins when plaque (a thin biofilm formed on the tooth surfaces) and bacteria accumulate in the sulcus of teeth. If proper oral hygiene is not maintained and brushing does not reach the sulcus area, plaque keeps on accumulating and eventually turns into a hard substance called calculus which is very difficult to remove. Calculus contains food debris and bacteria that damage the gums and underlying bone, promoting the progression of the gum infection.&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:50&#8243;][tm_image border_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; image=&#8221;2637&#8243; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:20;border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image image_size=&#8221;custom&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2967&#8243; image_size_height=&#8221;128&#8243; image_size_width=&#8221;160&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image image_size=&#8221;custom&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2838&#8243; image_size_width=&#8221;150&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;fa fa-award&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Award Winning Clinic&#8221; text=&#8221;Susan Crean Dental &amp; Facial Aesthetics is proud to have won and to have been nominated for various awards&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;far fa-handshake&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Safe, Relaxing Atmosphere&#8221; text=&#8221;We are experts dealing with nervous patients, there is no need to fear the dentist anymore&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;fal fa-smile-beam&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Aesthetic Experts&#8221; text=&#8221;We can help you achieve the smile that you always dreamed of, contact us today&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; background_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:100;padding_bottom:100&#8243;][vc_column][vc_row_inner gutter=&#8221;xs:30;sm:50;md:80;lg:100&#8243; xs_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:30;padding_bottom:30&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image border_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; image=&#8221;2700&#8243; lg_spacing=&#8221;border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4&#8243;][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221; text=&#8221;Am I suitable to get Periodontal treatment?&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:36&#8243; line_height=&#8221;46px&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221; text=&#8221;If you are somebody who has bleeding and swollen gums, receding gum line, loose teeth or severe pain on biting, it\u2019s best you get yourself checked out for gum disease.

After 2 weeks, a root planing procedure can help remove hard calculus from the roots of your teeth below the gum line.<br \/>\nIf your gum disease has progressed to such a stage that your teeth are moving or your gums have receded to expose your tooth roots, flap surgery can help lift back your gum line. Bone graft periodontal surgery can also help in the creation of new bone under your gums.&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:20&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]\t\t<style>\r\n                    .xga-accordoin-heading .title {\r\n            font-size: 20px;\r\n            color: #ffffff;\r\n        }\r\n        .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li .current,\r\n        .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li a:hover\r\n        {\r\n            color:#fff;\r\n            background-color: #4a0e78;\r\n            border-color:#4a0e78;\r\n        }\r\n        .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li,\r\n        .accordion-pagination .accordion-pagination-wrapper ul li a{\r\n            color: #ffffff;\r\n            background-color: #fff;\r\n            font-size: 16px;\r\n        }\r\n                    .xga-accordion-wrapper-08 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-heading a:after{\r\n                border-color:  #ffffff;\r\n                color: #ffffff;\r\n            }\r\n            .xga-accordion-wrapper-08 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-heading a{\r\n                background-color: #e8cda0;\r\n                color: #4a0e78;\r\n                font-size: 18px            }\r\n            .xga-accordion-wrapper-08 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-heading a.open{\r\n                color: #ffffff;\r\n                background-color: #e8cda0;\r\n            }\r\n            .xga-accordion-wrapper-08 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-body .xga-acc-content{\r\n                color: #ffffff;\r\n                font-size: 16px            }\r\n            .xga-accordion-wrapper-08 .xga-accrodion .xga-accordion-body .xga-acc-content p{\r\n                font-size: 16px            }\r\n        \r\n        \t\t<\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div class=\"xga-accordion-wrapper-08\" id=\"xga-accrodion-3396\">\r\n\t\t            <div class=\"xga-accrodion\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n                <div class=\"xga-accordion-heading\" itemprop=\"name\">\r\n                    <a href=\"#\" role=\"button\"  class=\"xga-collapse \"\r\n                       aria-expanded=\"false\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t        \t\t\t\t        Alternative treatments to gum disease<\/a>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n                <div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" class=\"xga-accordion-body \" data-parent=\"xga-accrodion-3396\">\r\n                    <div class=\"xga-acc-content\" itemprop=\"text\">\r\n                        \t\t\t\t        <p>Tooth extraction<br \/>\nThe only alternative treatment for a tooth damaged by gum disease is to get it pulled out.

Early gingivitis is characterized by gums that bleed on brushing, which progresses to later stages when the gums appear red, swollen, tender on touch, and spontaneously bleed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If left unchecked, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis which is characterized by receding gums, loose teeth and destruction of the surrounding bone below the gum line. Sometimes, you may experience foul smell and taste, as well as pus in your gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our gums attach to the teeth a little below the visible gum line. The area between the gums and teeth, just below the visible gum line is called the sulcus. Gum disease begins when plaque (a thin biofilm formed on the tooth surfaces) and bacteria accumulate in the sulcus of teeth. If proper oral hygiene is not maintained and brushing does not reach the sulcus area, plaque keeps on accumulating and eventually turns into a hard substance called calculus which is very difficult to remove. Calculus contains food debris and bacteria that damage the gums and underlying bone, promoting the progression of the gum infection.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\r\n

Early gingivitis is characterized by gums that bleed on brushing, which progresses to later stages when the gums appear red, swollen, tender on touch, and spontaneously bleed. If left unchecked, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis which is characterized by receding gums, loose teeth and destruction of the surrounding bone below the gum line. Sometimes, you may experience foul smell and taste, as well as pus in your gums. Our gums attach to the teeth a little below the visible gum line. The area between the gums and teeth, just below the visible gum line is called the sulcus. Gum disease begins when plaque (a thin biofilm formed on the tooth surfaces) and bacteria accumulate in the sulcus of teeth. If proper oral hygiene is not maintained and brushing does not reach the sulcus area, plaque keeps on accumulating and eventually turns into a hard substance called calculus which is very difficult to remove. Calculus contains food debris and bacteria that damage the gums and underlying bone, promoting the progression of the gum infection.&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:50&#8243;][tm_image border_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; image=&#8221;2637&#8243; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:20;border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image image_size=&#8221;custom&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2967&#8243; image_size_height=&#8221;128&#8243; image_size_width=&#8221;160&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image image_size=&#8221;custom&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2838&#8243; image_size_width=&#8221;150&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;fa fa-award&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Award Winning Clinic&#8221; text=&#8221;Susan Crean Dental &amp; Facial Aesthetics is proud to have won and to have been nominated for various awards&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;far fa-handshake&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Safe, Relaxing Atmosphere&#8221; text=&#8221;We are experts dealing with nervous patients, there is no need to fear the dentist anymore&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;4&#8243; icon_type=&#8221;fontawesome5&#8243; icon_fontawesome5=&#8221;fal fa-smile-beam&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;primary&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; heading=&#8221;Aesthetic Experts&#8221; text=&#8221;We can help you achieve the smile that you always dreamed of, contact us today&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;0 20px 30px #ccc&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_bottom:0&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; background_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:100;padding_bottom:100&#8243;][vc_column][vc_row_inner gutter=&#8221;xs:30;sm:50;md:80;lg:100&#8243; xs_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:30;padding_bottom:30&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][tm_image border_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; image=&#8221;2700&#8243; lg_spacing=&#8221;border_top:4;border_right:4;border_bottom:4;border_left:4&#8243;][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221; text=&#8221;Am I suitable to get Periodontal treatment?&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:36&#8243; line_height=&#8221;46px&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221; text=&#8221;If you are somebody who has bleeding and swollen gums, receding gum line, loose teeth or severe pain on biting, it\u2019s best you get yourself checked out for gum disease.

However, the worse your condition the more frequently you may require regular checkups. Up to as often as once every 3 months.

We will check for redness, swelling, tenderness and spontaneous bleeding of the gums. We check for any mobility in the teeth, whether there is any gum recession and whether there are any pockets. If pockets are present, we will record their location and depth, which will, later on, be an indicator for the success of the treatment.&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:20&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; text=&#8221;Once all the diagnostics are completed, we will start off with a routine tooth cleaning above and below the gum line (supra and subgingival scaling) followed by a followup appointment after 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, a root planing procedure can help remove hard calculus from the roots of your teeth below the gum line. If your gum disease has progressed to such a stage that your teeth are moving or your gums have receded to expose your tooth roots, flap surgery can help lift back your gum line. Bone graft periodontal surgery can also help in the creation of new bone under your gums.&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:20&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; overlay_background=&#8221;custom&#8221; overlay_custom_background=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; overlay_opacity=&#8221;10&#8243; lg_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:100;padding_bottom:100&#8243; background_image=&#8221;2740&#8243;][vc_column][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; text=&#8221;More Questions about periodontal disease?&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:36&#8243; line_height=&#8221;46px&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;lg:50&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:20&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner background_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;margin_right:0;margin_left:0;padding_right:70;padding_left:70&#8243; sm_spacing=&#8221;padding_right:30;padding_left:30&#8243; xs_spacing=&#8221;padding_right:15;padding_left:15&#8243; custom_background_color=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0.71)&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; background_color=&#8221;secondary&#8221; lg_spacing=&#8221;padding_top:115;padding_bottom:225&#8243;][vc_column][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; text_transform=&#8221;uppercase&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text_color=&#8221;#7a8a9e&#8221; text=&#8221;Susan Crean Dental &amp; Facial Aesthetics Tralee&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:14&#8243; letter_spacing=&#8221;3px&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:20&#8243;][tm_heading custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; text=&#8221;Alternative Treatments&#8221; max_width=&#8221;770px&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:36&#8243;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:30&#8243;][tm_heading tag=&#8221;div&#8221; custom_google_font=&#8221;&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;primary&#8221; text=&#8221;We offer a wide range of General Dental Treatments, below are some related treatments that you may be interested in&#8221; font_size=&#8221;lg:18&#8243; max_width=&#8221;770px&#8221;][tm_spacer size=&#8221;lg:70&#8243;][tm_slider_group style=&#8221;separator&#8221; nav=&#8221;1&#8243; gutter=&#8221;30&#8243; items_display=&#8221;xs:1;sm:2;md:3;lg:4&#8243;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;7&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2628&#8243; heading=&#8221;Dental Check-ups&#8221; text=&#8221;Regular Dental check-ups ensure that problems are found and treated sooner, prevention is better than the cure&#8221; button=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fcreandental.ie%2Fgeneral-dental-treatments%2Fdental-check-ups%2F|title:More%20Details&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fcreandental.ie%2Fgeneral-dental-treatments%2Fdental-check-ups%2F|title:Dental%20Check-ups&#8221;][tm_box_icon style=&#8221;7&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; image=&#8221;2635&#8243; heading=&#8221;Root Canal Treatments&#8221; text=&#8221;Root Canal Treatments aim to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2737,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3094"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3094"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4648,"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3094\/revisions\/4648"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/creandental.ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
