Gum Treatments: The Essential Step for Healthy Teeth
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss and is often silent. At Dehadent Oral and Dental Health Clinic, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate intervention in gum treatments. Healthy gums are crucial for both aesthetic and overall oral health.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease may not initially present any symptoms. However, the following may be signs of gum problems:
- Bleeding when brushing teeth or eating hard foods
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Bad breath
- Receding gums
- Loose or spaced teeth
If even one of these symptoms is present, it's important to see a dentist immediately.
What are the Gum Treatment Methods?
Gum treatments at Dehadent clinic are planned according to the severity of the disease:
- Professional Dental Scaling (Scaling): Plaque and tartar accumulated on teeth are removed using specialized devices. This procedure stops the progression of gingivitis.
- Curettage (Subgingival Cleaning): If gum disease is advanced, the inside of the gum pocket is cleaned and disinfected with special instruments.
- Flap Surgery: This is a surgical procedure performed to reach beneath the gum tissue. If necessary, the gum is reshaped.
- Laser Gum Treatments: This treatment method uses advanced laser technology to provide painless and faster healing.
- Regenerative Procedures: In areas of bone loss, bone grafts and membranes are used to support the process.
Tips for Maintaining Gum Health
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
- Prevent plaque buildup by using dental floss or an interdental brush.
