Periodontology (Gum Treatment)

 

An impressive smile is possible not only with the whiteness and smoothness of the teeth, but also with the healthy and compatible gingiva, which is called pink aesthetics. Bleeding in the gums is the most important and earliest symptom of gum disease. Healthy gums do not bleed. Gum bleeding can be treated. In the treatment, it can be completely healed by a good dental calculus cleaning by the first step dentist and by paying attention to the oral hygiene of the patient. In slightly more advanced cases, curettage includes removing the attachments (plaque and tartar) on the teeth and providing a smooth root surface. With curettage, bacteria and irritants that cause inflammation in the gingiva are removed. Usually, this treatment is sufficient for the gingiva to adapt to the tooth again or to shrink the gingiva and destroy the pocket containing bacteria. In the majority of cases in the early stages of gingival disease, daily effective oral care is sufficient for successful treatment, following tartar removal, removal of plaque and ensuring a smooth root surface. Surgical treatment includes flap operations for more advanced cases. Bone grafts can also be placed if the fused bone needs to be supported in the flap operation or if bone is to be formed in that area. Thus, new bone formation can be achieved.
