Gum Treatment
Gum treatment, also known as periodontal treatment, focuses on maintaining the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. It involves various procedures aimed at treating gum disease, restoring gum health, and preventing future complications.
Why Gum Treatment?
- Prevents gum disease: Addresses early signs of gum disease to prevent progression and potential tooth loss.
- Restores gum health: Treats gum inflammation, bleeding, and recession to promote healthy gum tissue.
- Preserves tooth support: Prevents bone loss and tooth loosening associated with advanced gum disease.
- Enhances overall health: Reduces the risk of systemic health problems linked to untreated gum disease, such as heart disease and diabetes.
Common Gum Treatment Services:
- Scaling and root planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gumline.
- Gum grafting: Surgical procedure to restore gum tissue lost due to recession or injury.
- Periodontal surgery: Surgical interventions to treat advanced gum disease and repair damaged gum tissue.
- Antibiotic therapy: Medications to control bacterial infection and promote gum healing.
- Laser gum therapy: Minimally invasive treatment using lasers to remove infected gum tissue and promote regeneration.
