Gum Treatment

General Information About Gum Treatment At Dr. Pal’s Dental Hospital, we provide specialized gum treatments to maintain and restore gum health. Healthy gums are essential for strong teeth and overall oral well-being. Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Our advanced treatments help in preventing, managing, and reversing gum issues, ensuring long-term oral health.

Facts About Gum Treatment

• Gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss among adults.
• Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with professional cleaning and good oral hygiene.
• Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires deep cleaning procedures like scaling and root planing.
• Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth.
• Regular dental visits and proper oral care can prevent gum disease progression.

Before the Procedure:

• A thorough examination is performed, including gum pocket measurements and X-rays if needed.
• The dentist will assess gum health and discuss the appropriate treatment plan.
• Patients may be advised to improve oral hygiene and follow pre-treatment care guidelines.
• In some cases, antibacterial mouth rinses or medications may be prescribed before the procedure.

Procedure Steps:

1. Professional Cleaning: Plaque and tartar are removed from above and below the gumline.
2. Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning is performed to remove bacteria and smooth tooth roots.
3. Laser Therapy (if required): Advanced laser treatment may be used for precise removal of infected tissue.
4. Gum Surgery (if needed): In severe cases, surgical procedures like flap surgery or gum grafting may be recommended.
5. Medication and Healing: Antibiotics or antiseptic treatments may be applied to promote healing.
6. Post-Treatment Guidance: Patients receive instructions on oral hygiene, diet, and follow-up visits.

Post-Treatment Care:

• Maintain regular brushing and flossing to prevent plaque buildup.
• Avoid smoking and limit sugary foods to support gum health.
