Gum Diseases Related Treatment
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common condition that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth, including the gums and bone. At Faizal Dental Care, we offer comprehensive treatment options to address gum disease and restore oral health.The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis, characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more advanced stage of gum disease that can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss.
Our experienced periodontists will conduct a thorough examination to assess the severity of your gum disease and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. Treatment options may include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and surgical procedures, such as gum grafting or pocket reduction surgery.
# Key Aspects of Gum Diseases Related Treatment:
- Assessment of gum disease severity and personalized treatment plan development.
- Treatment options may include professional dental cleanings, scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and surgical procedures.
- Importance of regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices for preventing gum disease.
- Surgical intervention may be necessary for advanced gum disease to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss.
Professional dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums, reducing inflammation and preventing the progression of gum disease. Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots to promote healing and prevent bacterial growth.
Antibiotic therapy may be prescribed to eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation in the gums. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address advanced gum disease and restore gum health. Gum grafting procedures can be performed to cover exposed tooth roots and prevent further gum recession, while pocket reduction surgery aims to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets and promote gum attachment to the teeth.
