Periodontal (Gum) Treatment
What to expect
Periodontal treatment is intended for treating gum disease at various stages, ranging from mild inflammation to advanced damage to the tissues supporting the teeth. The treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, cleaning deep areas around the teeth, and maintaining tooth stability over time. Maintaining gum health is a central part of oral health, and often forms the basis for preserving natural teeth.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The treatment suits patients suffering from bleeding gums, swelling, sensitivity, or gum recession. It's also recommended in cases of deep tartar buildup or a diagnosis of gum disease. Suitability is determined after a professional exam, including an assessment of the condition of the gums and supporting bone.
What the treatment process looks like
Treatment begins with a thorough diagnosis of gum condition, including a clinical exam and a periodontal chart (measuring pocket depth around each tooth). The exam provides a precise picture of tissue condition, identifies areas requiring treatment, and helps build a tailored treatment plan. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan is determined, including the treatment and monitoring stages. In the first stage, deep cleaning is performed to remove tartar and bacterial plaque from below-the-gumline areas that aren't accessible with regular cleaning. In more advanced cases, complementary treatments may be needed, depending on the condition. Throughout the process, emphasis is placed on guidance for proper oral hygiene and periodic monitoring, to maintain the result.
