Restorative Solution for Caries Along the Gum Line

Gum line caries, also known as cervical or root caries, are a common dental issue that affects many people. These cavities form along the gum line where the tooth meets the gums, often due to factors like poor oral hygiene, acidic food and drinks, or receding gums.

Time-related decay around the gum line can occur as a result of inadequate past dental restorations that have become difficult to clean. Over time, these uncleanable areas may harbour bacteria and contribute to decay. It is essential to address such issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain optimal oral health. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings can help identify and effectively manage these concerns before they worsen.

At Clean Teeth Dental, we prioritize the use of the best color-matching restorative materials to ensure that any fillings or restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This attention to detail not only restores the health of your teeth but also ensures a more aesthetically pleasing result.

In addition to using top-quality materials, we also take extra steps to protect your comfort and the success of the treatment. One such practice is placing our restorations under a rubber dam. This thin sheet of rubber isolates the tooth being treated, preventing contamination from saliva and providing a clean, dry working environment for our dental professionals to deliver precise and effective care.

If you suspect you have gum line caries or are experiencing symptoms such as tooth sensitivity, discoloration along the gum line, or rough edges near the gums, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our experienced dental team. Early detection and treatment of gum line caries are crucial in preventing further damage and preserving your oral health.

Remember, your smile is our priority, and at Clean Teeth Dental, we are committed to providing comprehensive, high-quality dental care to help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
