What can Hendersonville area patients do about gum tissue pain?

Patients in and around the Hendersonville area who are dealing with oral pain may want to seek the assistance of a quality dental team. Gum pain may be an indication of a much bigger concern, so visiting Dr. Christopher Port and his team at the Family Dental Health of South Asheville is one of the best ways to get a proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

What Can I Do About Gum Tissue Pain, In Arden, NC

In many cases, patients who are dealing with gum tissue pain are diagnosed with gum disease. Gum disease is caused by inflammation of the gums and is a result of poor oral health. When the condition starts, it begins as gingivitis. Gingivitis is the initial stage of periodontal disease, which is easily recognized by red, swollen gum tissue and bleeding while brushing and flossing. At this stage, the condition is easily controlled and reversed. However, if patients leave this condition untreated, it can progress into the later stages of periodontitis and result in the loss of gum tissue, bone, and even natural teeth. Patients are encouraged to work with their dentist to ensure this does not happen and find a method of treatment that can reduce or eliminate the problem.

Gum tissue pain may indicate a serious problem, so it is wise for patients to speak to their dentist about the problem and undergo a thorough evaluation. This is done by the dentist and it may include a physical examination and x-rays. Catching problems early, such as gum disease or cavities, is the best way to get appropriate treatment as soon as possible to keep the condition from worsening.

Whenever a problem arises within the smile, a dentist should be seen. Contact Dr. Christopher Port of Family Dental Health of South Asheville today and schedule an exam if pain or discomfort persists. This may be a sign of a serious problem or one that can be addressed early before it becomes a concern. Our team can help new and existing patients with their oral health care needs and do so in a caring, gentle manner for both children and adults.

5 Dentist Asheville - 5 Star Review
Ashley Hanes
As someone who hasn't been to the dentist in a LONG time, I must say, everyone there makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door until you leave. I'm so glad my friend recommended Family Dental Health of South Asheville to me, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dentist or a new dentist. This place is full of wonderful people, it is extremely clean and very comfortable (massage chairs). Plus there are cookies!
