The gums are the foundation of healthy teeth. But what if the foundation becomes weak? According to our periodontist, many patients complain of tooth loss, jaw-bone loss, and other dental problems due to gum diseases. The severity of gum diseases ranges from gingivitis to abscess formation and other aggravated gum infections in the advanced stage of periodontitis. Our periodontist offers different approaches to gum treatment to help patients get rid of gum disease in pain-free and cost-effective ways.

Still, many people remain unaware of gum infection. Gum disease is often silent, meaning symptoms may not appear until an advanced stage of the disease.

However, warning signs of gum disease include the following, so one can look for warning signs of gum diseases given below.

Non- Surgical Gum Treatment In Our Clinic

Scaling as a primary step of periodontal disease treatment

This is the first step of Gum treatment, involving scraping of hardened plaque and tartar on the surface of teeth, below and above the gum lines.

Planning roadmap to treat Periodontitis

This involves flattening rough spots near the tooth root to remove bacteria and facilitate easy reattachment of gums with teeth. As the treatment can be painful, especially when treating under gums, our dentists usually administer local anesthesia to numb the area.

Surgical Gum Treatment In Our Clinic

The surgical options to treat periodontal disease includes:

Gum graft surgery for restoring teeth or gum bone loss

Patients with gum recession have high-risk factors to exposure of tooth roots, and hence we treat them with soft tissue Grafts to halt further recession and bone loss.

Flap surgery to beautify and strengthen dental structures

We perform this procedure on our patients to trim and smoothen damaged bones structures and remove tartar by lifting back the gums.

Bone grafts for repairing bone loss and also dental implants adhesion

We offer bone grafts for treating internal jawbones that have been damaged by periodontal disease. Periodontal diseases are caused due to infection or abscess formation, which damages deep jawbones over time. Our periodontist cleans the infected site before performing bone graft surgery, strengthening the dental structure.

While early periodontal problems can be sorted with conservative methods, our team at SRS Jhuria’s Dental Clinic resort to surgical options only when the tissues around the teeth have become completely damaged, causing further damage to the dental structure.

As a responsible team, we also educate our patients with maintenance techniques, to avoid another gum disease. To avail of our gum treatment services and reap dental treatment benefits, contact us at any of our centers.
