Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common oral health issue that affects many individuals worldwide. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to serious complications such as tooth loss and bone deterioration. It is important to seek timely treatment to prevent further damage.
The main cause of gum disease is poor oral hygiene. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on the teeth and gums, leading to gum inflammation. This early stage is known as gingivitis. If not addressed, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, where the infection spreads below the gum line, causing damage to the supporting tissues and bone.
Treatment Options
At Teeth At Tiong Bahru, we offer a range of advanced gum disease treatment options tailored to your specific needs. Our dedicated team of dentists and orthodontists will assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you:
1. Professional Dental Cleaning
A professional dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is one of the initial steps in treating gum disease. This deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line, helping to eliminate bacteria and reduce inflammation.
We use specialized instruments to carefully clean the teeth and ensure a thorough removal of plaque and tartar. Our skilled dental hygienists will also provide tips on proper oral hygiene practices to maintain the health of your gums.
2. Non-Surgical Treatments
Non-surgical treatments are effective for mild to moderate gum disease cases. These treatments aim to control infection, reduce pocket depth, and promote gum healing:
- Antimicrobial Mouthwashes: We may prescribe antimicrobial mouthwashes to reduce bacteria in the mouth and alleviate symptoms.
- Antibiotic Treatment: In some cases, localized antibiotic treatment may be recommended to target bacterial infection in deep gum pockets.
- Root Surface Debridement: Our skilled dental professionals will carefully remove infected and damaged gum tissues to promote healing and prevent further progression of the disease.
3. Laser Gum Therapy
As a cutting-edge dental clinic, we employ the latest technology to provide laser gum therapy. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to target and remove infected tissue while preserving healthy gums.
Laser gum therapy offers several benefits, including reduced bleeding, minimal discomfort, faster healing times, and improved results. Our experienced dentists will guide you through the entire process, ensuring your comfort and safety.
4. Surgical Interventions
In severe cases of gum disease where non-surgical treatments are not sufficient, surgical interventions may be required to restore the health of your gums. Our skilled orthodontists are trained in a variety of advanced surgical procedures:
- Flap Surgery: This procedure involves lifting the gums to remove tartar deposits and reduce pocket depth, facilitating the cleaning of the tooth roots.
- Bone and Tissue Grafting: In situations where gum disease has caused bone loss, grafting procedures can help regenerate bone and tissue, restoring the gum's health and stability.
