Periodontal Care
Periodontal Care
Maintaining, treating, and managing the health of the teeth and gums is one of the primary services we offer at our clinic. Gum diseases, which arise from inflammation in the tissues surrounding the teeth, can lead to serious tooth loss if left untreated. Periodontal care is of great importance for achieving and maintaining a healthy oral structure.
What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal diseases are serious health issues that begin with inflammation of the gums and can progress to cause bone loss in advanced stages. These diseases typically start with plaque buildup around the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film formed from bacteria and food particles that attach to the teeth. If not cleaned regularly, this film can irritate the gum tissues, leading to gum disease.
Main Symptoms of Periodontal Disease:
- Bleeding gums
- Swollen and sensitive gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Loosening or shifting teeth
- Gum recession
Periodontal Care Services at Our Clinic
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive care at every stage of gum disease. The treatment process is tailored according to the severity of the disease and your individual needs. The periodontal care services we offer include:
- Teeth Cleaning (Scaling): Cleaning plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces is one of the most important steps in maintaining gum health. This procedure helps reduce gum inflammation and prevent gum recession.
- Curettage and Root Surface Smoothing: In more advanced cases, it may be necessary to remove bacteria and tartar buildup below the gums. This procedure prevents the spread of gum inflammation and allows for the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.
- Periodontal Surgical Interventions: In severe periodontal disease, surgical procedures may be required to clean infections that have accumulated in deep pockets of the gums. These treatments aim to prevent tooth loss.
- Home Care Recommendations: Periodontal care should be supported by at-home oral care routines. With our recommendations on flossing, proper brushing techniques, and tips for maintaining oral health, we help ensure the long-term health of your gums.
Why is Periodontal Care Important?
Healthy gums are not only essential for a beautiful smile but also for overall body health. Research has shown that gum diseases may be linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health issues. Therefore, maintaining gum health is a critical step for overall health.
