You might be unaware of early-stage oral cancer symptoms. Cancerous growths can develop silently in lip, mouth, tongue, gum, or throat tissues without noticeable signs. Fortunately, Dr. Choe employs advanced technology for early oral cancer detection, underscoring the importance of annual screenings. Early diagnosis vastly improves treatment outcomes. However, certain symptoms may prompt your attention, such as red or white patches, unusual lesions, lumps, or bleeding in the mouth.
During your annual oral cancer screening, expect:
Bleeding gums may seem like a minor issue, often dismissed as a consequence of vigorous brushing or flossing. However, they can indicate underlying problems that extend far beyond oral health, potentially impacting one's overall well-being. Understanding the dangers of bleeding gums requires delving into the various causes and consequences associated with this seemingly innocuous symptom.
At its core, bleeding gums often signify gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This condition arises from the buildup of plaque, a sticky film containing bacteria that forms on teeth. When left unchecked, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and, eventually, periodontitis. Bleeding gums are one of the hallmark symptoms of gingivitis, indicating that the gums are inflamed and vulnerable to damage.
Should any signs of oral cancer emerge, our skilled New York dentists will devise a personalized treatment plan for you.
Many patients choose to undergo periodontal maintenance with deep cleanings at New York Family Dental Arts. This process known as dental prophylaxis, or professional teeth cleaning, effectively removes plaque and tartar to halt gingivitis and prevent advanced periodontal disease. During routine exams, your dental hygienist might recommend professional cleaning to counteract plaque accumulation resulting from daily dietary habits. Despite diligent brushing and flossing, plaque buildup remains a concern.
Plaque serves as a primary catalyst for periodontal disease, leading to issues like halitosis and dental sensitivity. These concerns are efficiently addressed by your hygienist during a thorough cleaning, which also eliminates teeth stains, promoting a healthier appearance. Cleanings should be scheduled biannually or more frequently for individuals with periodontal disease. It's important to understand that professional cleaning isn't curative but rather serves as a preventive or maintenance measure. While general dentists offer professional cleaning, seeing a periodontist, that specialize in gum disease, could provide additional benefits. It can help to halt the progression of gum disease. That is why it is important to see a periodontist once you get to a certain age.
