Gum Assessment

Gum Assessment

Are you at high risk for cardiac issues?

We’re all pretty familiar with our cholesterol. We know that it can be high, leading to a greater risk of cardiac disease, or we know that it can be low, reducing the risk of having a heart attack. But what is less well-known is that poor oral health can be a high-risk marker for developing cardiovascular diseases.

When we think about our overall health, most of us only consider the heart. But your oral health can predict future heart problems or reveal underlying heart problems—and prevent them.

Thankfully, there is an easy way to measure your oral health which would be given in a simple score for our patients to understand their risk for heart problems that can be done in 10 minutes that involves no pain or discomfort.. This information can help dental professionals better predict your risk for heart disease and diabetes, as well as other systemic conditions such as stroke, osteoporosis, and even Alzheimer’s disease.

Most people know that high cholesterol and poor cardiac health are linked to gum disease and tooth decay. But did you also know that the opposite is true? Maintaining good dental practices can help support a healthy heart (and vice versa).

The score provided by us will tell you how likely you are to develop heart disease based on your oral health—and it will also let you know what steps to take to protect yourself from future problems.

If your score indicates that you have a high risk of developing heart problems, don’t fret! We would suggest a few lifestyle changes you can make to improve your oral health, lower your risk, and help your body stay strong with a healthy heart.

If you think that you would benefit from this kind of assessment, visit ETHEREAL DENTAL HUB today! We’re here to help keep your teeth healthy and your body healthy too!

Frequently Asked Questions

A gum assessment is a comprehensive examination of your gums to evaluate their health and detect any signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). This assessment is crucial because gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and other serious health issues if left untreated. At Ethereal Dental Hub in Chennai, our dentists use advanced diagnostic tools to assess your gum health and provide personalized treatment plans to maintain or restore healthy gums

The inspection of your teeth and gums is part of an extensive gum assessment at Ethereal Dental Hub. In addition to measuring the depth of gum pockets surrounding each tooth, assessing gum recession, and assessing your oral hygiene habits, our dentists will look for indications of inflammation. Bone loss and other underlying problems can be found with digital X-rays. We will suggest suitable treatments to enhance your gum health based on the results.

With expert treatment and better oral hygiene, gum disease can frequently be reversed in its early stages, known as gingivitis. This entails visiting Ethereal Dental Hub for expert cleanings, using an antimicrobial mouthwash, and brushing and flossing on a regular basis. Though damage that has already been done cannot always be completely undone, severe gum disease (periodontitis) requires more extensive therapies to maintain and prevent more damage.

In order to prevent gum disease, you should practice good oral hygiene, which includes using an antiseptic mouthwash, flossing every day, and brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Plaque and tartar accumulation must be removed with expert cleanings and routine dental exams at Ethereal Dental Hub. A balanced diet, abstaining from tobacco products, and controlling medical disorders like diabetes can also help lower the risk of gum disease.
