What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar, leading to inflammation and infection of the gums. Gum disease progresses in stages, from gingivitis (mild inflammation) to periodontitis (severe infection).

The Gum Disease Treatment Process at Our Dental Clinic
- Consultation and Diagnosis: Your journey to better oral health begins with a comprehensive consultation at our dental clinic. During this appointment, we will evaluate your dental health, take digital X-rays, and perform a thorough examination of your gums to determine the extent of the disease.
- Scaling and Root Planing: For mild to moderate gum disease, we may recommend a deep cleaning procedure known as scaling and root planing. This involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces to promote healing.
- Laser Therapy: For more advanced cases, laser therapy can be used to remove infected tissue and bacteria from the gums. This minimally invasive procedure promotes faster healing and reduces discomfort.
- Surgical Treatments: In severe cases of gum disease, surgical treatments such as flap surgery, bone grafting, and soft tissue grafting may be necessary. These procedures aim to reduce pocket depth, regenerate lost bone and tissue, and restore the health of your gums.
-
Maintenance and Follow-Up: Maintaining your oral health is crucial after gum disease treatment. Our dental clinic provides guidance on proper oral hygiene practices and schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the success of the treatment.
