Gum Treatments

Gum treatments involve various methods aimed at maintaining gum health and treating gum diseases. Protecting your gum health is crucial for overall oral health. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive treatment options to improve and maintain the health of your gums.

Gum Diseases

Gingivitis: Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums, usually starting with plaque buildup. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding.
Periodontitis: If gingivitis is not treated, it can develop into periodontitis. This condition is characterized by gum recession, exposure of tooth roots, and loosening of teeth.
Gum Recession: Gum recession occurs when the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing the roots and causing tooth sensitivity.

Tips for Maintaining Gum Health

Regular Brushing: Brush your teeth twice a day to prevent plaque and tartar buildup.
Flossing: Use dental floss to clean between your teeth, removing plaque and food particles.
Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist twice a year for professional cleaning and examination.
Healthy Diet: Maintain your dental and gum health with a low-sugar, balanced diet.
Avoid Smoking and Alcohol: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of gum diseases.

Gum Treatment Methods

Scaling and Root Planing:

Description: Scaling involves the removal of tartar and plaque from the teeth. This process helps prevent gum inflammation and the progression of gum diseases.
Procedure: Your dentist uses special tools to clean the tooth surfaces and remove tartar buildup.

Root Planing:

Description: Root planing smooths the root surfaces of the teeth, reducing plaque and tartar buildup between the gums and teeth.
Procedure: Root planing is usually performed under local anesthesia and ensures thorough cleaning of the tooth roots.

Gum Recession Treatment:

Description: This treatment involves restoring the gums to their original position and protecting the tooth roots in cases of gum recession.
Procedure: A gum graft is performed using graft material added to areas with missing gum tissue, helping the gums regenerate.

Antibiotic Therapy:

Description: Antibiotics are used to treat gum diseases by controlling bacterial infections.
Procedure: Your dentist may prescribe oral antibiotics or apply topical antibiotics directly to the gum area.

Surgical Intervention:

Description: In advanced cases of periodontitis or gum diseases, surgical intervention may be necessary. This includes repairing or reshaping gum tissue.
