Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that affects the tissues surrounding and supporting your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and other severe health issues. At Shashikal Clinic, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatments to restore your oral health and ensure your gums remain healthy and strong.
Gum disease begins with gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease caused by the buildup of plaque—a soft, sticky film of bacteria—on your teeth. If not addressed, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe stage where the inflammation extends to the deeper structures of the gums and bone supporting your teeth.
At Shashikal Clinic, we provide a range of gum disease treatments tailored to the severity of your condition. Our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of the disease, restoring gum health, and preventing recurrence.
Professional Cleanings: For early-stage gingivitis, a thorough professional cleaning, or scaling and polishing, may be sufficient. This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gumline, helping to reduce inflammation and improve gum health.
Scaling and Root Planing: If gum disease has progressed to periodontitis, scaling and root planing are often recommended. This deep-cleaning technique involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the root surfaces to promote gum reattachment and reduce bacterial growth.
Antibiotic Therapy: In cases where bacterial infection is present, we may prescribe antibiotics to help control and eliminate the infection. These medications can be applied directly to the affected area or taken orally, depending on your specific needs.
Surgical Treatments: For advanced gum disease, surgical procedures may be necessary. This can include flap surgery to remove tartar deposits and reduce gum pockets or bone grafts to restore lost bone structure. Our skilled periodontists use minimally invasive techniques to achieve optimal results with reduced recovery time.
Ongoing Maintenance: After initial treatment, maintaining gum health is crucial. We provide personalized oral care instructions and recommend regular check-ups to monitor your progress and prevent future issues.
