What Is Periodontal Disease?

The significance of healthy gums often extends beyond common understanding. What is gum disease? In quite a number of cases it can go completely undetected, and it can also be extremely difficult to determine how and when it first manifested. If left unattended it can do serious and horrific damage to your mouth and jaw and can take away your gums, bone, and teeth. This is why regular and preventive elitist care is imperative. Many of these people have no clue about its presence, and that is also why rushing to a dentist’s is further obstinately espoused.

At our Koramangala dental clinic, we focus on spotting and treating gum issues early on, helping you maintain a healthy, vibrant smile for years to come.

Signs and Symptoms to Watch For

If you are not sure that you have any gum problem,following are the symptoms of gum related issues:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

  • Swollen, red, or tender gums

  • Bad breath that doesn’t go away

  • Receding gumline (teeth looking longer)

  • Loose or shifting teeth

  • Pain when chewing

If any of this sounds familiar, don’t wait. Early treatment can stop gum disease in its tracks.

How We Treat Gum Disease

Periodontics isn’t just about cleaning teeth but it’s about treating the foundation that keeps the teeth healthy. Here’s how we do it:

Scaling and Root Planing: This periodontal therapy provides deep cleaning by removing plaque and tartar below the gumline, in addition to smoothing out the roots so that gingival tissue can heal and reattach.

Laser Therapy: Advanced LASERs are capable of performing less invasive procedures by cutting with no suturing involved. They kill bacteria and promote healing at the same time.

Antibiotic Treatment: In some cases, localized antibiotics are administered into gum pockets for more precise treatment.

Surgical Options: Where necessary, flap surgery or bone grafting will be performed to repair and restore lost supportive structures of tissues and bones.

Every treatment plan is customized based on your specific requirements, ranging from a distinct smile and gum line to severity of the condition.  

 

Prevention And Long-Term Care

We couldn’t agree more with the saying that states prevention is the best medicine! While we do everything possible to restore optimal health for your gums, maintaining their health is equally important. So what does long-term care involve?

Regular Professional Cleanings: These should be done every 3 months to 6 months but this timeframe may vary depending on personal hygiene standards. 

Home Hygiene Guidance: We provide instructions on how to brush properly, use flosses, interdental brushes, or water flossers for effective cleaning techniques all through power tools designed for cleaning. 

Lifestyle Support: Having diabetes or being a smoker leads to certain health risk factors; however, these are manageable with professional guidance from experts like us.
