Gum Treatments: Important Steps Towards a Healthy Smile

Healthy gums are an essential part of good oral health and provide important support for your teeth. However, many people experience gum-related problems. Gum disease may present with symptoms such as inflammation, gum recession, and bleeding gums. With modern dental techniques, many gum problems can be effectively managed and treated.

Types of Gum Treatments

Professional Dental Cleaning: Regular professional dental cleaning is one of the most effective ways to help prevent gum disease. Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and helps maintain healthy gums.

Scaling: Tartar is a hardened deposit that builds up on the surface of the teeth. Tartar accumulation can contribute to gum inflammation and gum recession. Professional scaling removes these deposits and helps restore and maintain gum health.

Periodontal Surgery: Periodontal surgery includes surgical procedures used to treat advanced stages of gum disease. Depending on the patient's condition, these procedures may include gum surgery, periodontal procedures, and bone grafting.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty: Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess gum tissue when necessary. Gingivoplasty is a procedure used to reshape the gum tissue to improve its form, function, or appearance.
